The dot product is not 0, so the vectors are not perpendicular.

The dot product is not 0, so the vectors are not perpendicular.
Let u = kv , where k is a non-zero constant.

Then (5cos 45°,5sin 45°)= k (−8cos 45°, −8sin 45°)

The dot product is not zero, so the vectors are not perpendicular to each other.
The vectors are parallel if u = kv , for some non-zero constant k.

Hence

The value of k is the same, so the vectors are parallel.
Since k < 0 , the vectors have unlike direction.

 
Hence, ABC and ACD are congruent, using SSS (Side, Side, Side, which is the
property that if corresponding sides are of the same length, the 2 shapes are congruent).
Because ABC and ACD are congruent, their corresponding angles are the same.
∠CAD , ( α = β ) and ∠ABC =
That is, ∠BAD = ∠ACD , ( γ = δ ).
Hence, diagonal AC bisects ∠BAD and diagonal BD bisects ∠ABC .
