Diagonals AC and BD form right angles at point M in parallelogram ABCD. Prove ABCD is a rhombus.

Parallelogram A B C D is shown. Diagonals are drawn from point A to point C and from point B to point D and intersect at point M. Sides A B and D C are parallel and sides B C and A D are parallel. A square is drawn around point M.

The missing statement which is statement 6 is; △AMB ≅ △CMB and ≅ △CMD ≅ △AMD

How to carry out a two column proof?

We have been given several statements and reasons in the given two column proof to prove that ABCD is a rhombus.

Now, the only missing parameter is statement 6 which has its' reason as SAS congruency theorem.

From all the reasons and statements given before statement 6, we can arrive at the conclusion that;△AMB ≅ △CMB and ≅ △CMD ≅ △AMD
