ABCD is a rhombus, EABF is a straight line such that EA=AB=BF. Prove that ED and FC when produced meet at right angles.
Given,
ABCD is a rhombus,
EABF is a straight line
EA = AB = BF
OA = OC
OB = OD (diagonals of rhombus are perpendicular bisector of each other)
∠AOD = ∠COD = 90∘
∠AOB = ∠COB = 90∘
In ΔBDE,
A and O are mid points of BE and BD
OA ⎸⎸DE
OC ⎸⎸DG
In ΔCFA
B and O are the mid points of AF and AC
OB ⎸⎸CF and
OD ⎸⎸GC
Thus in quadrilateral DOCG
OC ⎸⎸DG and
OD ⎸⎸GC
DOCG is a parallelogram
∠DGC = ∠DOC
∠DGC = 90 (proved)
