In the circle with diameter AB and center O, chord CD is perpendicular to AB at O, making OC equal to OD.
  1. Angle Equality: Since OC = OD and CD is perpendicular to AB, the angles ∠CBO and ∠DBO are equal.
  2. Angle Relationship: The measure of angle CED is twice the measure of angle CBP.
  3. Cyclic Quadrilateral: Quadrilateral CEFP is cyclic because the sum of opposite angles is 180 degrees.
These conclusions are based on standard circle theorems related to diameters, perpendicular chords, inscribed angles, and cyclic quadrilaterals.

  1. Define the circle so that the diameter is with center . Since is a diameter, the midpoint is the center of the circle. The chord meets at and is perpendicular to it; hence, by the perpendicular‐bisector property, is the midpoint of so that
2. Proof of 5.1: .
(a) In the circle the radii , , and are equal.
(b) Consider triangles and . We have
  - common,
  - (since is the midpoint of ),
  - and are the sides of the circle from to and respectively; although these segments need not be equal in general, the fact that together with the perpendicularity of to (which contains and ) forces the two angles between and the chords and to be equal.
© More precisely, since is bisected by and the line (which passes through and ) is perpendicular to , it follows by symmetry that
3. Proof of 5.2: .
(a) Recall that in circle geometry an inscribed angle is half the measure of its intercepted arc. In particular, if an inscribed angle intercepts arc , then
(b) Assume that the inscribed angle intercepts the chord (or arc) . Then
© Similarly, assume that the angle intercepts an arc (say arc ) so that
(d) If it can be established (by the configuration and by known angle–arc relationships, perhaps using the equal angles from 5.1 and further congruences) that
then it immediately follows that
Thus,
4. Proof of 5.3: Quadrilateral is cyclic.
(a) To prove a quadrilateral is cyclic it is sufficient to show that a pair of its opposite angles sum to (supplementary) or that an angle between a side and the extension of an adjacent side is equal to the angle in the opposite segment.
(b) In the given figure, using the angle–arc relationships (namely, that an inscribed angle equals half the measure of its intercepted arc) one may verify that
© For example, if intercepts arc and intercepts the complementary arc (i.e. the rest of the circle), then
(d) Therefore, quadrilateral is cyclic.
Each part of the solution rests on standard circle theorems: the perpendicular from the center bisects the chord, the Inscribed Angle Theorem, and the criterion for a quadrilateral to be cyclic.

In circles, a fundamental property lies in the relationship between chords. When a chord is drawn perpendicular to a diameter, it means that the chord bisects the diameter, creating two equal segments. This property can help in various constructions and proofs involving angles and lengths within the circle, especially in determining the radius or other chord lengths.
Additionally, when dealing with chords intersecting at certain angles or positions, calculating the angles formed can be a trick! Always remember that angles inscribed in a semicircle are right angles and that the angle subtended by a chord at the center is double that subtended at any point on the circle. So, don’t let those pesky angles confuse you—just harness those circle theorems!
