Show that each diagonal of a rhombus bisects the angle through which it passes.

(i) In ΔBOC and ΔDOC


BO = DO [In a rhombus diagonals bisect each other]


CO = CO Common



BC = CD [All sides of a rhombus are equal]


ΔBOCΔDOC [SSS Congurency]


BCO =DCO from above [corresponding parts of congruent triangles]


Hence, each diagonal of a rhombus bisect the angle through which it passes.
