  • Question
  • A point O in the interior of a rectangular ABCD is joined with each of the vertices A, B, C and D. Then :


  • Options
  • A. OA2 + OC2 = OB2 ? OD2
  • B. OA2 + OC2 = OB2 + OD2
  • C. OA2 = OB2 = OC2 + OD2
  • D. OA2 + OD2 = OB2 + OC2

  • Correct Answer
  • OA2 + OC2 = OB2 + OD2 

    Explanation

    As per given figure , we can see that
    Since the diagonals of a rectangle are equal and bisect each other. Let AC and BD intersect at M. Therefore M is the mid-point of AC and BD and AM = DM
    From ?AOC, OA2 + OC2 = 2(AM2 + MO2) [Appollonius Theorem.] .......... ( 1 )
    also in ?ODB, OB2 + OD2 = 2(MO2 + DM2) = 2(MO2 + AM2) .......... ( 2 )
    From equations ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) .
    ? OA2 + OC2 = OB2 + OD2.
