Given : ABCD is a square.
To prove : AC=BD and AC and BD bisect each other at right angles.
Proof: (i) In a Δ ABC and Δ BAD,
AB = AB ( common line)
BC = AD. ( opposite sides of a square)
∠ABC = ∠BAD. ( = 90° )
Δ ABC ≅ Δ BAD. ( By SAS property)
AC = BD ( by CPCT).
(ii) In a Δ OAD and Δ OCB,
AD = CB ( opposite sides of a square)
∠OAD = ∠OCB ( transversal AC )
∠ODA = ∠OBC ( transversal BD )
Δ OAD ≅ Δ OCB. (ASA property)
OA = OC --------------------(1)
Similarly OB = OD -----------------(2)
From (1) and (2) AC and BD bisect each other.
Now in a Δ OBA and Δ ODA,
OB = OD ( from (2) )
BA = DA
OA = OA ( common line )
Δ AOB = Δ AOD-------------------(3) ( by CPCT )
∠AOB + ∠AOD = 180°. (linear pair)
2∠AOB = 180°
∠AOB = ∠AOD =90°
∴AC and BD bisect each other at right angles.
