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.`
