two circles intersect each other at point a and b .if ap and aq are diameters prove that pbq is a straight line

Dear Student,

Consider the figure as given below:



Given: AP and AQ are diameters.

To Prove: PBQ is a straight line.

Construction: Join AB

Proof: AP is a diameter ABP=90° Angle in a semicircle
AQ is a diameter ABQ=90° Angle in a semicircle
PBQ=ABP+ABQ=90°+90°=180°

Thus, PBQ is a straight line.
Hence Proved
Regards,
