Question

show that if diagonal of a quadrilateral bisect each other at a right angle then it is rhombus​

Answer 1

Let ABCD be a quadrilateral whose diagonals bisect each other at right angles.

Given,

OA = OC, OB = OD and ∠AOB = ∠BOC = ∠OCD = ∠ODA = 90°

To show,

ABCD is parallelogram and AB = BC = CD = AD

Proof,

In ΔAOB and ΔCOB,

OA = OC (Given)

∠AOB = ∠COB (Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal)

OB = OB (Common)

Therefore, ΔAOB ≅ ΔCOB by SAS congruence condition.

Thus, AB = BC (by CPCT)

Similarly we can prove,

AB = BC = CD = AD

Opposites sides of a quadrilateral are equal hence ABCD is a parallelogram.

Thus, ABCD is rhombus as it is a parallelogram whose diagonals intersect at right angle.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Take quadrilateral ABCD , AC and BD are diagonals which intersect at O.

In △AOB and △AOD

DO=OB ∣ O is the midpoint

AO=AO ∣ Common side

∠AOB=∠AOD ∣ Right angle

So, △AOB≅△AOD

So, AB=AD

Similarly, AB=BC=CD=AD can be proved which means that ABCD is a rhombus.
