Algebra.Com's Answer #11503 by venugopalramana(3286)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! LET ABCD BE THE RHOMBUS.WITH AB=BC=CD=DA.JOIN DIAGONALS AC AND BD. LET THEM MEET AT O. \n" ); document.write( "IN TRIANGLES ABC AND ADC , WE HAVE \n" ); document.write( "AB=AD...GIVEN \n" ); document.write( "BC=DC...GIVEN \n" ); document.write( "AC=AC....GIVEN \n" ); document.write( "SO THEY ARE CONGRUENT.SO ANGLE BAC = ANGLE DAC .. \n" ); document.write( "NOW CONSIDER TRIANGLES AOB AND AOD \n" ); document.write( "AO=AO...COMMON SIDE \n" ); document.write( "AB=AD...GIVEN \n" ); document.write( "ANGLE BAC= ANGLE BAO=ANGLE DAC = ANGLE DAO...FROM ABOVE \n" ); document.write( "SO THEY ARE CONGRUENT. \n" ); document.write( "SO ANGLE AOD =ANGLE AOB ....BUT THEIR SUM IS 180 ...A STRAIGHT ANGLE \n" ); document.write( "HENCE ANGLE AOD=ANGLE AOB=90..SIMILARLY ANGLE DOC = ANGLE ANGLE BOC=90 \n" ); document.write( " |
