Show that the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other.
Answers
Consider the rhombus as ABCD,
Let the center point be O
Now in triangle AOD and COD,
OA = OC ( Diagonals of IIgm bisect each other )
OD= OD (common )
AD = CD
Therefore, triangle AOD congruent triangle COD
Thus gives ,
Angle AOD = angle COD (cpct)
= 2 AOD = 180°
= AOD = 90°
So , the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other.

Step-by-step explanation:
Given:-ABCD is a rhombus
To prove that:-Diagonals are perpendicular to eachother i.e,AC⊥BD
Solution:-In ΔAOB and ΔAOD
AB=AD
AO=AO
OB=OD
By Side Side Side [S.S.S] congruence rule ΔAOD≅ΔAOD
⇒∠AOB=∠AOD [∵By CPCT] [∵CPCT=Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangle]
But ∠AOB+∠AOD=180° [Linear Pair of Angles]
⇒∠AOB+∠AOB=180°
2∠AOB=180°
∠AOB=180°/2
∠AOB=90°
∴Hence AC⊥BD
