Consider a rhombus ABCD, whose diagonals intersect at O.

We know that diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at 90°, so triangles AOB, AOD, BOC and COD are right angled triangles.

In ΔAOB,

AO2 + OB2 = AB2 (Using Pythagoras theorem)

⇒ AC2 + BD2 = 4AB2

Similarly, AC2 + BD2 = 4BC2

AC2 + BD2 = 4CD2

AC2 + BD2 = 4AD2

Adding all these equations, we get

4(AB2 + BC2 + CD2 + AD2) = 4(AC2 + BD2)

⇒ AB2 + BC2 + CD2 + AD2 = AC2 + BD2

What is a quadrilateral with diagonals that bisect each other?

The diagonals of any parallelogram (square, rhombus, rectangle, rhomboid) bisect each other. The difference is the the diagonals are equal in length for a square and rectangle, and not equal for a rhombus or rhomboid (oblique diamond).

Not in general. The diagonals of a rectangle are equal length. A rhombus that is also a rectangle would be a square.

A Rhombus * * * * * WRONG! A rhombus does not have equal diagonals. If it did it would be a square! The shape is a special case of a kite.


How does a square differ from a rhombus?

A square is a rhombus with all angles 90o. When the angles of a rhombus are not all 90o, it differs from the square in this respect, and the diagonals are not of equal length unlike those of a square. A rhombus is like a square in that all its sides are equal in length, opposite sides are parallel and the diagonals are perpendicular and bisect each other.


What is a shape with four sides and perpendicular diagonals?

A shape with four sides and perpendicular diagonals is called a rhombus. In a rhombus, all sides are of equal length, and the diagonals bisect each other at right angles. Additionally, the diagonals are not necessarily of equal length, which distinguishes a rhombus from a square.


What are the properties of rhombus and rectangle that square has?

Properties of rhombus that square has :- * All sides are equal. Properties of rectangle that square has :- *Each angle is 90 degree. *Diagonals are equal.


Are the diagonals of a rhombus perpendicular and bisect each other?

Yes, they are perpendicular and intersect at their midpoints. The difference between diagonals in a rhombus as opposed to a rectangle or square is that the diagonals are not of equal length.
