Answer:

Given :- A rhombus ABCD whose diagonals AC and BD intersect at O.

To Prove :- ( AB² + BC² + CD² + DA² ) = ( AC² + BD² ).

Proof :- 

➡ We know that the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.

==>∠AOB = ∠BOC = ∠COD = ∠DOA = 90°,

OA  =  \frac{1}{2} AC \: and \: OB =  \frac{1}{2} BD

From right ∆AOB , we have

AB² = OA² + OB² [ by Pythagoras' theorem ]

  =  =  >  {AB}^{2}  =  \frac{1}{2}  {AC}^{2}  +  \frac{1}{2}  {BD}^{2}

 =  =  >  {AB}^{2}  =  \frac{1}{2} ( {AC}^{2}  +  {BD}^{2} )

==> 4AB² = ( AC² + BD² ) .

==> AB² + AB² + AB² + AB² = ( AC² + BD² ) .

•°• AB² + BC² + CD² + DA² = ( AC² + BD² ) .

[ In a rhombus , all sides are equal ] .

Hence, it is proved.
