Question: ABCD is a rhombus show that angle AC bisects angle A as well as angle C and diagonal BD bisects Angle B as well as angle D.

Answer
Given,
ABCD is a rhombus.
Therefore all sides are equal.
To Prove
AC bisects ∠A and ∠C
BD bisects ∠B and ∠D
Proof
Part 1: Proof for AC bisects ∠A and ∠C
In ΔABC
AB = BC
∴ ∠2 = ∠4 (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)
AD ║BC and AC is the transversal.
∠1 = ∠4 (Alternate interior angles)
∠2 = ∠4 (proved)
∴ ∠1 = ∠2
(things which are equal to the same thing are equal to one another)
⇒ AC bisects ∠A → 1
AB ║ DC and AC is the transversal.
∠3 = ∠4
But we have proved that ∠2 = ∠4
∴ ∠3 = ∠4
(things which are equal to the same thing are equal to one another)
⇒AC bisects ∠C → 2
From 1 and 2 we can tell that
AC bisects both ∠A and ∠C
Similarly we can prove that
BD bisects both ∠B and ∠D
Hence Proved!
