By using the concept of slope, prove that the diagonals of a rhombus are at right angles.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let `A B C D` is a rhombus.
`Rightarrow AB=BC=CD=DA` [Adjacent sides are eqaul in rhombus ]
In `triangle AOD` and `triangle COD`
`Rightarrow OA=OC `[Diagonals of rhombus bisect each other]
`Rightarrow OD=OD ` [Common side]
`Rightarrow AD=CD`
`triangle AOD cong triangle COD ` [ By SSS congruence rule]
`Rightarrow angle AOD=angle COD [CPCT]`
