Using analytical geometry, prove that the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

we need to prove ABCD is a rhombus
where AB=BC=BD=DA
A(0,0) B(S,0)
C(A+S,B) D(A,B)
`AD=sqrt(a^2+b^2)=s`
`a^2+b^2=s^2`
AB=`sqrt(s^2+0^2)=s`
BC=`sqrt((a+s-s)^2+(b-0)^2)=sqrt(a^2+b^2)=S`
