Question

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

Solution

 In ∆ AED and ∆ DEC :
AE=EC( diagonals bisect each other )
AD=DC( sides are equal )
DE=DE( common )
 By SSS congruence :
AEDCED
ADE=CDE( c . p . c . t )
 Similarly, we can prove ∆ AEB and ∆ BEC, ∆ BEC and ∆ DEC, ∆ AED and ∆ AEB are congruent to each other .
 Hence, diagonal of a rhombus bisects the angle through which it passes .
