Solution
A rhombus is a parallelogram with four congruent sides.
So, all sides of rhombus ABCD are congruent.
i.e.
A
B
≅
B
C
≅
C
D
≅
A
D
We also know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect
each other,
Since a rhombus is a parallelogram, it also has
this property.
∴
B
E
≅
D

,
A
E
≅
C

.
∴
all
