Question
In given figure 1 ABCD is an arrowhead. AB = AD and BC = CD. Prove th at AC produced bisects BD at right angles at the point M

Solution
A is equidistant from B and 0 . Therefore, A lies on perpendicular bisector of BO.
C is equidistant from Band 0. Therefore, C lies on perpendicular bisector of BO.
A and C both lie on perpendicular bisector of BO.
Hence, AC is perpendicular bisector of BO.
Since AC is perpendicular bisector of BO so ∠ AMB = ∠ AMO = right angle.
