Prove that the diagonals of a rectangle are equal in length
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let ABCD be a rectangle.
We have to prove that AC = BD.
In the triangles ABC and DCB:
BC = CB (common)
AB = DC (opposite sides of a parallelogram)
ABC =DCA = 90° (given)
so ABC ≡ DCB (SAS)
Hence AC = DB (matching sides of congruent triangles).
please follow me
to prove - AC = BD
given - ABCD is a rectangle
proof - in rectangle ABCD,
AC and BD and angle C and angle D form right angled triangles
in ΔADC and ΔBDC,
CD=CD ( common side)
AD=BC ( opposite equal sides of a rectangle)
∠C=∠D=90° (all angles in a rectangle are 90°)
so by SAS congruence criterion,
ΔADC≅ΔBDC
AC = BD (corresponding parts of congruent triangles)
