Diagonals of a parallelogram ABCD intersect at O. AL and CM are drawn perpendiculars to BD such that L and M lie on BD. Is AL = CM? Why or why not?


AL and CM are perpendiculars on diagonal BD.


AL = CM [In a parallelogram length of perpendiculars drawn on diagonal from opposite vertices are equal]
