At which angle do diagonals of a rhombus bisects each other?(a) 180°(b) 360°(c) 270°(d) 90°This question was addressed to me in homework.Question is from Types of Quadrilaterals in chapter Quadrilaterals of Mathematics – Class 9

Answer»

Right option is (d) 90°

The best explanation: A rhombus is SHOWN in the diagram below.

For ∆AOB and ∆AOD,

AB = AD (sides of the same rhombus)

OB = OD (diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other)

OA = OA (same side)

Hence, ACCORDING to SSS rule, ∆AOB and ∆AOD are CONGRUENT to each other.

Therefore,

∠AOB = ∠AOD

∠AOB + ∠AOD = 180° (linear PAIR of ANGLES)

2∠AOD = 180°

Therefore, ∠AOD = 90°
