Question 2968: How do you use vectors to prove that the diagnols of a rhombus are orthogonal. Any help is appreciated and thank you in advance.

orthogonal means here, basically, no components in the same directions, so trawling my memory, if you do the scalar product of the directional vectors of the 2 diagonals, and that is equal to zero, then the 2 lines are perdendicular.
