Question

Prove that the circle drawn with any side of a rhombus as diameter,passes through the point of intersection of its diagonals.

Answer 1

Answer 2

Answer:

To prove: A circle drawn with Q as centre, will pass through A, B and O (i.e. QA = QB = QO)

Since all sides of a rhombus are equal,

AB = DC

Now, multiply (½) on both sides

(½)AB = (½)DC

So, AQ = DP

⇒ BQ = DP

Since Q is the midpoint of AB,

AQ= BQ

Similarly,

RA = SB

Again, as PQ is drawn parallel to AD,

RA = QO

Now, as AQ = BQ and RA = QO we have,

QA = QB = QO (hence proved).
