Answer:
Let ABCD is a rhombus
=> AB=BC=CD=DA
Adjacent sides are equal in rhombus
In ∆ AOD and ∆COD
=>OA=OC [ Diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other]
=>OD=OD [ Common side]
=>AD=AD
=>∆AOD ~= ∆COD [By SSS congruence rule]
=> Angle AOD = Angle COD ( CPCT)
=>Angle AOD + Angle COD= 180° ( linear pair)
=> 2 angle AOD= 180°
=> Angle AOD= 90°
Hope it's helpful to you

To prove,
Diagonals of rhombus bisect each other at 90°
Proof,
Let the rhombus be named as ABCD
It says that,
AB=BC=CD=DA
As all sides of a rhombus are equal.
In ∆AOD and ∆COD,
OA=OC (diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other)
OD=OD(common side)
AD=AD
Therefore,
∆AOD=∆COD by SSS(side side side)congruency.
Angle AOD=AOC(common parts of congruent traingle)(CPCT)
Therefore,
Angle AOD+Angle COD= Linear pair(180°)
So,
2AOD=180°
AOD=90°
COD=90°
Hence,proved
