Proof: Rhombus With Right Angle is Square
Let's prove the following theorem:
if WXYZ is a rhombus and ∠WXY is a right angle, then WXYZ is a square
Proof:
Given
1 | WXYZ is a rhombus |
---|---|
2 | ∠WXY is a right angle |
# | Claim | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | WXYZ is a parallelogram | if WXYZ is a rhombus, then WXYZ is a parallelogram |
2 | WXYZ is a rectangle | if WXYZ is a parallelogram and ∠WXY is a right angle, then WXYZ is a rectangle |
3 | distance WX = distance XY | if WXYZ is a rhombus, then distance WX = distance XY |
4 | WXYZ is a square | if WXYZ is a rectangle and distance WX = distance XY, then WXYZ is a square |
