Problem

ABCD is a kite in which AB=ADAB = AD and CB=CDCB = CD. The diagonals intersect at O. (i) Prove that △ABO≅△ADO\triangle ABO \cong \triangle ADO. (ii) List all pairs of equal sides and all pairs of equal angles that involve point O as a result of part (i). (iii) Using the relations obtained in part (ii) along with the given equalities for the kite, prove that △CBO≅△CDO\triangle CBO \cong \triangle CDO. (iv) Deduce that one diagonal of the kite bisects the other at right angles.
