Answer» Parallelogram : A quadrilateral inwhich both pairs of opposite sides are parallel is called a parallelogram. Rhombus: A quadrilateral in which all four sides are equal and both pairs ofopposite sides are parallel is called a rhombus. ========================================================== Given:diagonal AC of parallelogram ABCD bisects ∠A. ∠CAB =∠CAD To show: (i) It bisects ∠C also, (ii) ABCD is a rhombus. Proof: i) In ΔADC and ΔCBA, AD = CB (Oppositesides of a ||gm) DC = BA (Oppositesides of a ||gm) AC = CA (Common) Therefore, ΔADC ≅ ΔCBA ( by SSS congruence rule.) ∠ACD = ∠CAB ……(i) (by CPCT) ∠BCA= ∠CAD…..(ii) (By CPCT) & ∠CAB = ∠CAD…..(iii) (Given) From eq i,ii,iii, All 4 above angles are equal to each other.. Hence, ∠ACD = ∠BCA Thus, AC bisects ∠C also. (ii) ∠ACD = ∠CAD (Proved) AD = CD (Opposite sides of equal anglesof a triangle are equal) But, AB= CD & AD= BC [Opposite sides of a parallelogram] AB = BC = CD = DA Hence, ABCD is a rhombus. ========================================================= ty bro |
