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)
