Question:
Prove that the sum of the squares of the sides of a rhombus is equal to the sum of the squares of its diagonals.
Answer:

Let ABCD is a rhombus. Let O is a point where diagonals are intersect to each other.

So AB = BC = CD = DA

    AC is perpendicular to BD and ∠AOB = ∠BOC = ∠COD = ∠AOD = 90

and OA = OC = AC/2

OB= OD = BD/2

Now from triangle AOB

AB2 = OA2 + OB2

=> AB2 = (AC/2)2 + (BD/2)2

            = AC2 /4 + BD2 /4

=> 4AB2 = AC2 + BD2

=>  AB2 + AB2 +AB2 + AB2 = AC2 + BD2

=> AB2 + BC2 + CD2 + DA2 = AC2 + BD2

So the sum of squares of the sides of a rhombus is equal to the sum of the square of its diagonal
