- Given :-
- A circle which is made of 4 sides of rhombus
- We have to prove that the Diameter of rhombus passes through the point of intersection of its diagonal
Now
Let PQRS be a rhombus and O be the point of intersection of diagonal
We know that the diagonal of rhombus intersect at 90° .
So :-
So all the angles of rhombus=90°
O is the point of intersection
And OQ is the radius of circle .. ... (i)
SO is also the radius of circle. .. (ii)
Now add eq. (i) and (ii)
SO+OQ
=SQ (which is the diameter of circle and diagonal of rhombus)
So the diameter of circle passes through the diagonal of rhombus.. (Hence Proved !! ! )
Step-by-step explanation:
Sol: Consider ABCD be a rhombus whose diagonals AC and BD intersect at O.
Since diagonals of a rhombus intersect each other at right angle.
∴ ∠AOB = ∠BOC = ∠COD = ∠AOD = 90°
Now, AB, BC, CD and DA as diameters of circles passes through O. Angle in a semi-circle is 90°.
Hence the circles described on the four sides of a rhombus as diameter, passes through the point of intersection of its diagonals.
