Prove that the if the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other at right angles then it is a rhombus.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Take quadrilateral `ABCD` ,
`AC and BD` are diagonals which intersect at `O.`
In `triangle AOB and triangle AOD`
`DO=OB` (O is the midpoint)
`AO=AO` (Common side)
`angle AOB=angle AOD`( Right angle)
So, `triangle AOB~=triangle AOD`
So, `AB=AD`
Similarly, `AB=BC=CD=AD `can be proved which means that `ABCD` is a rhombus.
