    Let ABCD be a quadrilateral whose diagonals bisect each other at right angles.

    Given that,

    OA = OC

    OB = OD

    and ∠AOB = ∠BOC = ∠OCD = ∠ODA = 90°

    To show that,

    if the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other at right angles, then it is a rhombus.

    i.e., we have to prove that ABCD is parallelogram and AB = BC = CD = AD

    Proof,

    In ΔAOB and ΔCOB,

    OA = OC (Given)

    ∠AOB = ∠COB (Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal)

    OB = OB (Common)

    Therefore, ΔAOB ≅ ΔCOB [SAS congruency]

    Thus, AB = BC [CPCT]

    Similarly we can prove,

    BC = CD

    CD = AD

    AD = AB

    , AB = BC = CD = AD

    Opposites sides of a quadrilateral are equal hence ABCD is a parallelogram.

    , ABCD is rhombus as it is a parallelogram whose diagonals intersect at right angle.

    Hence Proved.
