Step-by-step explanation:
let there be a square ABCD whose diagonal AC and BD intersect each other at a point O. Therefore, AO=OC and BO=OD.
Consider ∆s AOB and AOD in order to prove that the diagonals AC and BD are perpendicular to each other.
In ∆AOB and AOD
BO=OD. (O is mid-point)
OA=OA. (common side)
ABOUT=AD. (sides of a square are equal)
So, ∆AOB is congruent ∆AOD. (By SSS congruence condition)
= ang.AOB=ang.AOD
But, ang.AOB+ang.AOD=180°. (linear pair)
so, ang.AOB=ang.AOD=90°
Hence,the diagonals of a square bisect each other at right angles.
