Answer:

BD = CA ⇒ Proved down

Explanation:

From the given figure

∵ AB and CD are diameters in circle O

OB = OA = OC = ODradii

∵ AB ∩ CD at O

∴ ∠BOD and ∠COA are vertically opposite angles

∵ The vertically opposite angles are equal in measures

m∠BOD = m∠COA

→ In Δ OBD and Δ OCA

∵ m∠BOD = m∠COA ⇒ vertically opposite angles

∵ OB = OC ⇒ radii

∵ OD = OA ⇒ radii

Δ OBD and Δ OCA are congruent by SAS postulate

→ From congruency

BD = CA
