In ABC and DCB,
AB = DC (Sides of a square are equal to each other)
ABC = DCB (All interior angles are of 90)
BC = CB (Common side)
ABC = DCB (By SAS congruency)
AC = DB (By CPCT)
Hence, the diagonals of a square are equal in length.
In AOB and COD,
AOB = COD (Vertically opposite angles)
ABO = CDO (Alternate interior angles)
AB = CD (Sides of a square are always equal)
AOB = COD (By AAS congruence rule)
AO = CO and OB = OD (By CPCT)
Hence, the diagonals of a square bisect each other.
In AOB and COB,
As we had proved that diagonals bisect each other,
therefore, AO = COAB = CB (Sides of a square are equal)
BO = BO (Common)
AOB = COB (By SSS congruency)
AOB = COB (By CPCT)
However, AOB + COB = 180 (Linear pair)
2 AOB = 180ºAOB = 90º
Hence, the diagonals of a square bisect each other at right angles.
