This is about finding slopes of lines.
The slope of AC, when simplified = 1
The product of the slopes = -1
All sides of a square are equal.
This means that;
If AB = a, then it means;
AB = BC = CD = AD = a
- Point D is on the y-axis and so coordinate of D is; (0, a)
While coordinate of C is; (a, a)
Thus coordinates of each point of the square are;
A(0, 0) , B(a, 0) , C(a, a) and D(0, a)
- Formula for slope between two coordinates is; m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Thus;
- The slope of AC = (a - 0)/(a - 0) = a/a = 1
- The slope of BD, when simplified, is equal to −1
- The product of the slopes of AC and BD = 1 × (-1) = -1
- Therefore, AC is perpendicular to BD.:
