Quadrilateral BCDE is inscribed in circle A as shown. `bar(BD)` divides the quadrilateral into two triangles, `DeltaBCD` and `DeltaBED`. Which statement is true about the triangles?

A.  

The angle bisectors and the perpendicular bisectors for both triangles intersect at the same point.

B.  The angle bisectors of  `DeltaBCD`  intersect at the same point as those of  `DeltaBED`.

C.  The perpendicular bisectors of  `DeltaBCD`  intersect at the same point as those of  `DeltaBED`.
 
D.  The angle bisectors of  `DeltaBCD`  intersect at the same point as the perpendicular bisectors of  `DeltaBED` .

Answer with explanation:

→It is given that, Quadrilateral BCDE is inscribed in circle , and segment BD divides the Quadrilateral into two triangles , ΔBED and Δ B CD.

⇒To determine the center of circle,draw perpendicular bisector of any two chords.BC,CD,DE,BD and EB are chords of the circle.

→The Point where , the the perpendicular bisector of sides of Quadrilateral meet is center of the circle.

→ So, the perpendicular bisector of sides of ΔBED, that is ,BE,B D, and ED meet at the center of the circle.

→Similarly, the perpendicular bisector of sides of ΔB CD, that is ,BC,C D, and B D meet at the center of the circle.

Option C: The perpendicular bisectors of `ΔBCD` intersect at the same point as those of ΔBED.`

Quadrilateral BCDE is inscribed in circle A as shown. `bar(BD)` divides the quadrilateral-example-1
