Question
In given figure, ABCD is a kite. AB = AD and BC =CD. Prove that the diagona AC is the perpendirular bisector of the diagonal BD.
Solution
A is equidistant from B and D. Therefore, A lies on perpendicular bisector of BD.
C is equidistant from Band D. Therefore, C lies on perpendicular bisector ofBD.
A and C both lie on perpendicular bisector of BD.
Hence, AC is perpendicular bi sector of BD.
