Answer:
Here is your answer
Let ABCD be a rhombus whose diagonals AC and BD intersect at the point O.
We know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
Also, we know that every rhombus is a parallelogram.
So, the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other.
Therefore, OA = OC and OB = OD
From triangle COB and triangle COD, we have :
CB = CD ( sides of a rhombus )
CO = CO ( common )
OB = OD ( proved )
triangle COB ~ triangle COD ( by SSS congruence )
= angle COB = angle COD.
But, angle COB + angle COD = 2 right angles ( linear pairs )
angle COB = angle COD = 1right angle.
Hence, the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.
Hope this helps.
