Prove that the diagonals of the rhombus below bisect the interior angles.
We have to prove that E is the midpoint of AC and also the midpoint of BD.
How would you do that, cuty_shai2000?
Method I: Show triangle ABC is congruent to triangle ADC. Then, show triangle ABD is congruent to triangle CBD. Method 2: If you have already proved that the diagonals of a rhombus are congruent and base angles of isosceles triangles are congruent, that is another way. Method 3: Use definition of rhombus and the theorem that base angles of isosceles triangles are congruent.
from definition the sides of a rhombus are equales and paralleles - because they are equales from this result that these angles are equales - from definition the diagonales of a rhombus are perpendiculares and they halfed - so from these all result that the diagonalsa are bisectors
I think I get what both of you are trying to say, so thank you for that, but I'm still confused.
pprove triangles ABE and CED are congruent, then BE=ED and AE = CE by CPCTC.
are triangles ABE and CED congruent by Vertical Angles Postulate?
by ASA postulate
many theorems that can support
Vertical Angles Theorem states that if two angles are vertical, then they are congruent. It has nothing to do with proving triangles congruent.
