prove that diagonals of parallelogram cut at right angle it is a rhombus
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let ABCD is a rhombus.
⇒ AB=BC=CD=DA [ Adjacent sides are eqaul in rhombus ]
In △AOD and △COD
⇒ OA=OC [ Diagonals of rhombus bisect each other ]
⇒ OD=OD [ Common side ]
⇒ AD=CD
∴ △AOD≅△COD [ By SSS congruence rule ]
⇒ ∠AOD=∠COD [ CPCT ]
⇒ ∠AOD+∠COD=180
o
[ Linear pair ]
⇒ 2∠AOD=180
o
.
∴ ∠AOD=90
o
.
Hence, the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angle.
Answer:
First Proof : Since the diagonals AC and BD of quadrilateral ABCD bisect each other at right angles. Therefore, AC is the perpendicular bisector of the segment BD. ... Thus , ABCD is a quadrilateral whose diagonals bisect each other at right angles and all four sides are equal. Hence, ABCD is a rhombus.
