Answer:
ANSWER
Given parallelogram ABCD in which diaginal BD bisects ∠B and ∠D
BD bisect ∠B,
⇒∠ABD=∠CBD=
2
1
∠ABC
BD bisect ∠D,
⇒∠ADB=∠CDB=
2
1
∠ADC
∴∠ABC=∠ADC [ Opposite angles of parallelogram are equal ]
∴
2
1
∠ABC=
2
1
∠ADC
⇒∠ABD=∠ADB and ∠CBD=∠CDB
∴AD=AB and CD=BC
As ABCD is a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal
⇒AB=CD and AD=BC
⇒AB=BC=CD=AD i.e, ABCD is a rhombus.
Hence, the answer is proved.
