Answer:

(a.a)-(b.b)=|a|²-|b|²=0

As the dot product of the diagonals is 0, the diagonals must be perpendicular.

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. All the sides are equal in lengths and the sides that are opposite to each other and parallel so it can be expressed as the same vectors.
  2. These diagonals can be expressed by equation a+b and a-b
  3. Take the dot product of the diagonals and simplify.

                           (a+b).(a-b)=(a.a)-(b.b)

   4. A vector dotted with itself is its length squared, and we know that the

       side lengths are equal to each other.

                             (a.a)-(b.b)=|a|²-|b|²=0
