Theorem
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.
Example
RENT is a rectangle. Its diagonals meet at O. Find x, if OR = 2x + 4 and OT = 3x + 1.
`bar"OT" "is half of the diagonal" bar"TE"`.
`bar"OR" "is half of the diagonal" bar"RN"`.
by the property of Diagonals of a Rectangle Are of Equal Length.
So, their halves are also equal.
Therefore,
3x + 1 = 2x + 4
3x - 2x = 4 - 1
x = 3.
