Three radii are drawn in a circle with center O: OA, OB, OC so that OB is perpendicular to AC

Three radii are drawn in a circle with center O: OA, OB, OC so that OB is perpendicular to AC and the segments OB and AC intersect. Prove that AB = BC.

Since, by condition, OB is perpendicular to AC, and point O belongs to AC, then OB is perpendicular to OA and OС, and then triangles AOB and COB are rectangular, in which OA = OB = OС = R.
Then the triangle AOB is equal to the triangle СOB along two legs, and then AB = BC, which was required to prove.
