In the figure 11.34, ABCD is a quadrilateral in which AB = AD and BC = DC. Diagonals AC and BD intersect each other at O. Show that-
(i) ∆ ABC is congruent to ∆ ADC
(ii) ∆ AOB is congruent to ∆ AOD
(iii) AC is perpendicular to BD
(iv) AC bisects BD
I know the first two just tell the 3 and 4
If you want tell 1 & 2 also
I can get an idea of solving it in another way
And please hurry....I have exam
And please don't send unwanted reply

Proved below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
ABCD is a quadrilateral and AB = AD and BC = DC.
Also diagonals AC and BD intersect each other at O.
To prove:
(i) ∆ ABC is congruent to ∆ ADC
(ii) ∆ AOB is congruent to ∆ AOD
(iii) AC is perpendicular to BD
(iv) AC bisects BD
Proof:
(i) In ΔABC and ΔADC, we have
AB = CD (given)
AC = AC (common side)
∴ Δ ABC ≅ Δ ADC (By SSS congruency)
By CPCT, we get
∠DAC = ∠BAC
or ∠DAO = ∠BAO (since AOC is a staright line) [1]
(ii) In Δ AOB and Δ AOD, we have
AD = BC (given)
AO = AO (common side)
∠DAO = ∠BAO (from (1)
∴ ΔAOB ≅ ΔAOD (By ASA congruency) [2]
(iii) As ΔAOB ≅ ΔAOD [ from 2 ]
Then by CPCT, we get
∠ AOD =∠ AOB [3]
∠AOD + ∠AOB = 180° [ linear pair property]
∠AOD + ∠AOD = 180° (from (3)
2 ∠AOD = 180°
∠AOD = 90°
This proves that AC⊥BD
(iv) Also, since we have
ΔAOB ≅ ΔAOD
So by CPCT, we get DO = OB
This proves that AC bisects BD.
Hence proved.
