(i) Here, ABCD is a parallelogram and diagonal AC bisects ∠A.
∴ ∠DAC=∠BAC ---- ( 1 )
Now,
AB∥DC and AC as traversal,
∴ ∠BAC=∠DCA [ Alternate angles ] --- ( 2 )
AD∥BC and AAC as traversal,
∴ ∠DAC=∠BCA [ Alternate angles ] --- ( 3 )
From ( 1 ), ( 2 ) and ( 3 )
∠DAC=∠BAC=∠DCA=∠BCA
∴ ∠DCA=∠BCA
Hence, AC bisects ∠C.
(ii) In △ABC,
⇒ ∠BAC=∠BCA [ Proved in above ]
⇒ BC=AB [ Sides opposite to equal angles are equal ] --- ( 1 )
⇒ Also, AB=CD and AD=BC [ Opposite sides of parallelogram are equal ] ---- ( 2 )
From ( 1 ) and ( 2 ),
⇒ AB=BC=CD=DA
Hence, ABCD is a rhombus.
