Answer:
in rhombus all sides are equal
given that, diagonals are equal
hence, diagonals are perpendicular to each other

given: rhombus abcd where AO=OC and BO=OD
prove: AC is perpendicular to BD
proof:
since abcd is a rhombus,
ab=bc=cd=da
now considering triangle AOB and triangle COB,
OA=OC (diagonal of a parallelogram bisect each other)
OB=OB (common)
AB=CB (sides of rhombus are equal)
therefore, triangle AOB is congruent to triangle COB by SSS congruency
<AOB=<COB (CPCT) ---------> (1)
since AC is a line,
<AOB+<COB=180° (linear pair)
<AOB+<AOB=180° (From (1))
2<AOB=180°
<AOB=90°
from (1)
<COB =<AOB=90°
so,
<DOC=<AOB=90° (vertically opp angles)
<AOD=<COB=90° (")
since <DOC=<AOB=<AOD=<COB=90°
AC is perpendicular to BD
HENCE PROVED!
