take two adjacent triangles in which diagonal bisecting one of it's diagonals
as diagonals bisect each other
so 2 corresponding sides are equal
Also angles are equal as diagonal bisect one of it's angle
so SAS SIMILARITY
THEREFORE third side becomes equal
that is adjacent sides of parallelogram are equal
that means all four sides are equal
So it's rhombus

mark me as brainliest pls
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: ABCD is a parallelogram and diagonal AC bisects ∠A.
To prove: Diagonal AC bisects ∠A ∠1 = ∠2
Now, AB || CD and AC is a transversal.
∠2 = ∠3 (alternate interior angle) Again AD || BC and AC is a transversal.
∠1 = ∠4 (alternate interior angles)
Now, ∠A = ∠C (opposite angles of a parallelogram)
⇒ 1/2∠A = 1/2 ∠C
⇒ ∠1 = ∠3 ⇒ AD = CD (side opposite to equal angles)
AB = CD and AD = BC AB = BC = CD = AD ⇒ ABCD is a rhombus.
