Given: Two congruent circles intersect each other at points A and B. Through A any line segment PAQ is drawn so that P, Q lie on the two circles.

To prove:  BP = BQ 

Proof:

AB is a common chord in both congruent circles.

$\therefore \angle A P B=\angle A Q B$
$\operatorname{In} \triangle B P Q$,
$\angle A P B=\angle A Q B$
$\therefore B Q=B P$      (Sides opposite to equal of the triangle are equal)
