Question
In the given figure, $ABCD$ is a rhombus. Then:
✓
Answer
The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.
$\Rightarrow\text{OA}=\frac{1}{2}\text{AC}$ and $\text{OB}=\frac{1}{2}\text{BD}$
Also, $\angle\text{AOB}=90^{\circ}$
In right $\triangle\text{AOB},$
$\therefore\text{AB}^2=\text{OA}^2+\text{OB}^2 ...($By Pythagoras theorem$)$
$\Rightarrow\text{AB}^2=\frac{1}{4}\text{AC}^2+\frac{1}{4}\text{BD}^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{AC}^2+\text{BD}^2=4\text{AB}^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{OA}=\frac{1}{2}\text{AC}$ and $\text{OB}=\frac{1}{2}\text{BD}$
Also, $\angle\text{AOB}=90^{\circ}$
In right $\triangle\text{AOB},$
$\therefore\text{AB}^2=\text{OA}^2+\text{OB}^2 ...($By Pythagoras theorem$)$
$\Rightarrow\text{AB}^2=\frac{1}{4}\text{AC}^2+\frac{1}{4}\text{BD}^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{AC}^2+\text{BD}^2=4\text{AB}^2$
