Answer variants:
WOX=XYO
Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other
OX=OX
ΔWOXΔXYO
Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal
ΔWOXΔXOY
Using CPCT
WOX+XYO=180°
WOX=XOY
All the sides of a rhombus are equal
WOX+XOY=180°
Using parallelogram property
All the sides of a parallelogram are equal
WX=OY
Show that the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other.

S. No.
Statement
Reason
1.
\(WXYZ\) is a parallelogram.
Rhombus is also a parallelogram.
2.
OW=OY
3.
Common side
4.
WX=XY
5.
\(SSS\) Congruence rule
6.
CPCT
7.
Linear pair
8.
WOX=90°
 
Hence, the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other.
