If this helps u then plz like
A quadrilateral ABCD in which  the diagonals AC and BD intersect at O assume that AO = OC , BO = OD . AC perpendicular BD.

To prove : ABCD is a rhombus.
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.
A and C both are equidistant from B and D.
AB = AD and CB = CD        ... (1)
Also , BD is the perpendicular bisector of line segment  AC.
B and D both  are equidistant from A and C.
AB = BC and AD = DC        ... (2)
From (1) and (2), we get
AB = BC = CD = AD
Thus , ABCD is a quadrilateral  whose diagonals bisect each other  at right angles and all four sides are equal.
Hence , ABCD is a rhombus.

now it is proved tha ABCD is a rombus and area of Rombus =1/2 product of diagonals.
Hence, proved
