Theorems and Laws [6]

The opposite sides of a parallelogram are of equal length.

Given: ABCD is a parallelogram.

To Prove: AB = DC and BC = AD.

Construction: Draw any one diagonal, say `bar(AC)`.

Proof:

Consider a parallelogram ABCD,

In triangles ΔABC and ΔADC,

∠ 1 = ∠2, ∠ 3 = ∠ 4             .....(Pair of alternate angle)
and `bar(AC)` is common side.

Side AC = Side AC              .....(common side)
∠ 1 ≅ ∠2                             .....(Pair of alternate angle)
∠ 3 ≅ ∠ 4                            .....(Pair of alternate angle)

by ASA congruency condition,
∆ ABC ≅ ∆ CDA

This gives AB = DC and BC = AD.

Hence Proved.

The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular bisectors of one another.

                         

Given: ABCD is a rhombus.

To Prove: m∠ AOD = m∠ COD = 90°.

Proof:

ABCD is a rhombus.                                                                         .........(Given)

Since the opposite sides of a rhombus have the same length, it is also a parallelogram.  ........(Properties of a rhombus)

The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other.                            ..........(Properties of a rhombus)

Thus,                   

OA = OC            .....(DB ⟂ AC, Divides AO and OC into two equal parts)(1)

OB = OD            ......(AC ⟂ DB, Divides DO and OB into two equal parts)(2)

In ∆AOD and ∆COD,
OA = OC             .....(From 1)
OB = OD             ......(From 2)
AD = CD             ......(All the sides of a rhombus are equal.)

by SSS congruency criterion,
∆ AOD ≅ ∆ COD

Therefore, m∠ AOD = m ∠ COD.......(C.A.C.T.)

Since, ∠AOD and ∠ COD are a linear pair.

m∠ AOD = m∠ COD = 90°.

Hence Proved.

Prove that the bisectors of interior angles of a parallelogram form a rectangle.

Given: A parallelogram ABCD. The bisectors of interior angles of || gm form a quadrilateral PQRS.


To Prove: PQRS is a rectangle.

Proof:

(1) In || gm ABCD, we have

∠A + ∠B = 180°   ...[Sum of co-interior angles = 180°]

⇒ `1/2 (∠A + ∠B) = 1/2 xx 180^circ`

⇒ `1/2 ∠A + 1/2 ∠B = 90^circ`

∠QAB + ∠QBA = 90°   ...`[{:(∵ (i) AQ  "is bisector of"  ∠A","),(∴ 1/2 ∠A = ∠QAB),((ii) BQ  "is bisector of"  ∠B","),(∴ 1/2 ∠B = ∠QBA):}]`

(2) In ΔAQB, we have

∠QAB + ∠QBA + ∠Q = 180°   ...[Sum of angles of a triangle = 180°]

⇒ 90° + ∠Q = 180°

⇒ ∠Q = 180° – 90°

∠Q = 90°

(3) Similarly, from ΔBCR, we can prove that ∠R = 90°.

From ΔCDS, we can prove that ∠S = 90° and from ΔADP, we can prove that ∠P = 90°

(4) ∠P = ∠Q = ∠R = ∠S = 90°   ...[Proved in (2) and (3)]

Also, ∠P = ∠R and ∠Q = ∠S

i.e. Both pairs of opposite angles are equal.

It is parallelogram with each angle = 90°.

Hence, it is a rectangle.

The diagonals of a rectangle are of equal length.

Given: ABCD is a rectangle. The diagonals are AC and BD bisect each other at a point O.

To prove: AC = BD 

Proof:
ABCD is a rectangle.
BC = AD                         ...........(Opposite sides are equal and parallel)(1)
m∠A = m∠ B = 90°.       ...........(Each of the angles is a right angle and opposite angles of a rectangle are equal.)(2)

Then looking at triangles ABC and ABD separately.

We have,

In ∆ ABC and ∆ABD,
AB = AB                       ......(Common side)
BC = AD                      ......(From 1)
m∠A = m∠ B = 90°.    ......(From 2)

by SAS congruency criterion,
∆ ABC ≅ ∆ ABD          .....(lies between two parallel lines)

Thus, AC = BD           ......(C.S.C.T.)

Hence Proved.

Prove that the bisectors of the interior angles of a rectangle form a square.

Given: A rectangle ABCD in which AR, BR, CP, DP are the bisects of ∠A, ∠B, ∠C, ∠D, respectively forming quadrilaterals PQRS.

To prove: PQRS is a square.


Proof:

In Δ ARB,

∠RAB + ∠RBA + ∠ARB = 180°

45° + 45° + ∠ARB = 180°

90° + ∠ARB = 180°

∠ARB = 180° - 90°

∴ ∠ARB = 90°

Similarly, ∠SRQ = 90°

In Δ ARB,

AR = BR  ...(i)

ΔASD ≅ Δ BQC   ...[By ASA rule]

AS = BQ  ...(ii)  [by CPCTC]

(i) - (ii)

AR - AS = BR - BQ

SR = RQ   ...(iii)

Also, SP = PQ  ...(iv)

PQ = RS  ...(v)

Hence, PQRS is a square.

The diagonals of a square are perpendicular bisectors of each other.

Given: ABCD is a square, where AC and BD is a diagonal bisect each other at a Point 'O'.

To Prove: ∠AOD = ∠COD = 90°.

Proof:

ABCD is a square whose diagonals meet at O. ......(Given)

OA = OC.                                                          ......(Since the square is a parallelogram)(1)

In ΔAOD and ∆COD,
OD = OD           .........(Common side)
OA = OC            .........(From 1)
AD = DC            ..........(All the sides of square have equal length.)

By SSS congruency condition,
∆AOD ≅ ∆COD

Therefore, m∠ AOD = m∠ COD  ......(C.A.C.T.)

Since, m∠ AOD and m∠ COD are a linear pair,

∠AOD = ∠COD = 90°.       

Hence Proved.
