As written, this statement appears inconsistent with the figure/text. Since each chord is perpendicular to diameter AB, its midpoint lies on AB. Therefore, the segment joining the two midpoints lies along AB, so it is parallel to AB, not perpendicular.
In a circle, two chords CC’ and DD’ are drawn perpendicular to a diameter AB. Prove that the segment MM’ joining the midpoints of the chords CD and C’D’ is perpendicular to AB.
