Consider two triangles △ BOC and △ AOD,
In △ BOC and △ AOD,
∠BOC = ∠AOD (Vertically opposite angles)
∠CBO = ∠DAO (Each 90º, since AD and BC are ⊥ to AB)
BC = AD (Given)
∴ △BOC ≅ △AOD (AAS congruence rule)
∴ BO = AO (By CPCT)
Thus, CD bisects AB and O is the mid-point of AB.
hope it helps u keep smiling, :)
