ABCD is a rhombus. Show that diagonal AC bisects ∠A as well as ∠C and diagonal BD bisects ∠B as well as ∠D. PLEASE TRY TO SOLVE THIS QUESTION. OF CLASS 9. THANK YOU:)

[In rhombus all side are equal and diagonols are different but intersect at 90°]
⇒AB=BC=CD=DA
⇒AC⊥BD
In ΔABC
⇒AB=BC
⇒∴∠CAB=∠ACB
⇒AO=OC
∴∠ABO=∠CBO
and simillarly in ΔADC
⇒AD=DC
⇒AO=OC
∴corresponding angle are equal
⇒∠DAC=∠DCA
and ∠CDO=∠ADO
Hence, AC bisect ∠A and ∠C and BD bisects ∠B and ∠D
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Rhombus ABCD
To Prove,
(i)AC bisects ∠A ,i.e. ∠ 1 = ∠2
BD bisects ∠B,i.e. ∠ 3 = ∠ 4
(ii) BD bisects ∠ B & ∠ D
Proof,
In ∆ABC ,
AB = BC [ sides of the rhombus]
so, ∠ 4 = ∠ 2 [ angle opposite to equal sides are equal] —(1)
Now, AD || BC [ opposite sides of rhombus are parallel]
and Transversal AC
∠ 1 = ∠ 4 [ alternate angles]—(2)
from (1) &(2)
∠ 1 = ∠ 2
=> AC bisects ∠ A
Now, AB || DC [opposite sides of rhombus are parallel]
and transversal AC
∠ 2 = ∠ 3 [ alternate angles]—(3)
from (1) &(3)
∠ 4 = ∠ 3
=> AC bisects ∠ C
Hence,
AC bisects ∠ A and ∠ C
similarly we can prove that BD bisects ∠ B & ∠ D
Hence proved
