(i) it bisects `\ /_C` also,
(ii) ABCD is a rhombus.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given: The diagonal AC of a parallelogram ABCD bisects ∠A.
We can use alternate interior angles property to show that the diagonal AC bisects ∠C and by showing all sides are equal, it can be proved ABCD is a rhombus.
i) ABCD is a parallelogram.
`∠DAC = ∠BCA` (Alternate interior angles) ....................(1) ...
