Related Problems How do we know if a quadrilateral is a rhombus? Once again, we can justify it by definition of a rhombus; a quadrilateral with four congruent sides. We will discuss a few cases, where properties of a rhombus can be used to prove a quadrilateral is a rhombus. Exercise 1. In parallelogram ABCD, AB is congruent to BC. Show that ABCD is a rhombus. Figure 1. Parallelogram ABCD A parallelogram with congruent consecutive sides 17

In parallelogram JULY, diagonals JL and UY are bisectors of vertex angles. Show that JULY is a rhombus. Figure 3. A parallelogram with angle bisecting diagonals Figure 2.

In quadrilateral JUNE, diagonals JN and UE bisect each other and are perpendicular to each other. Show that JUNE is a rhombus. Exercise 3. In parallelogram JULY, diagonals JL and UY are bisectors of vertex angles. Show that JULY is a rhombus. Figure 3. A parallelogram with angle bisecting diagonals Figure 2. A quadrilateral with perpendicular bisecting diagonals From Ex. 2, we see that when diagonals are perpendicular bisectors of each other, the quadrilateral is a rhombus. Let us look at another property of a rhombus. From Ex. 3, we see that a parallelogram with angle bisecting diagonals is a rhombus. So, in general, we can prove that a quadrilateral is a rhombus with a property of a rhombus in conjunction with a property of a parallelogram. 18
