In a rhombus, the properties that help us prove the perpendicularity of the diagonals come into play.
1. In a rhombus, the opposite angles are equal, so if \( m\angle C = 100^\circ \), then \( m\angle A \) must also be \( 100^\circ \).
2. The sum of interior angles in any quadrilateral is \( 360^\circ \). Therefore, we can find \( m\angle B \) and \( m\angle D \) using the following equation:
\[
m\angle A + m\angle B + m\angle C + m\angle D = 360^\circ
\]
Given \( m\angle A = 100^\circ \) and \( m\angle C = 100^\circ \):
\[
100^\circ + m\angle B + 100^\circ + m\angle D = 360^\circ
\]
\[
m\angle B + m\angle D = 360^\circ - 200^\circ
\]
\[
m\angle B + m\angle D = 160^\circ
\]
3. Since angles \( B \) and \( D \) are opposite angles in the rhombus, we can use the fact that the opposite angles are equal. Thus, let \( m\angle B = m\angle D \).
Let's denote \( m\angle D \) as \( x \):
\[
x + x = 160^\circ
\]
\[
2x = 160^\circ
\]
\[
x = 80^\circ
\]
Therefore, \( m\angle D = 80^\circ \).
4. The diagonals of a rhombus bisect the angles, so:
- \( m\angle A = 100^\circ \) is bisected into \( 50^\circ \) at the intersection of the diagonals.
- \( m\angle C = 100^\circ \) is likewise bisected into \( 50^\circ \).
5. For angles \( B \) and \( D \):
- \( m\angle B = 80^\circ \) is bisected into \( 40^\circ \).
- \( m\angle D = 80^\circ \) is bisected into \( 40^\circ \).
When we add these angle pairs at the intersection of the diagonals:
\[
50^\circ (from \angle A) + 50^\circ (from \angle C) + 40^\circ (from \angle B) + 40^\circ (from \angle D) = 180^\circ
\]
This shows the diagonals are perpendicular.
In conclusion, the measure of angle \( D \), \( m D \), is \( 80^\circ \).

\]
This shows the diagonals are perpendicular.
In conclusion, the measure of angle \( D \), \( m D \), is \( 80^\circ \).

Apologies for the oversight. Let's reevaluate the problem step by step.
Given that \( m\angle C = 100^\circ \) in the rhombus ABCD, we want to find \( m\angle D \) and prove that the diagonals \( AC \) and \( BD \) are perpendicular.
1. **Rhombus Properties**:
- In a rhombus, opposite angles are equal. Therefore, if \( m\angle C = 100^\circ \), then \( m\angle A = 100^\circ \).
2. **Sum of Angles**:
- The sum of the internal angles in any quadrilateral is \( 360^\circ \):
\[
m\angle A + m\angle B + m\angle C + m\angle D = 360^\circ
\]
Substituting what we know:
\[
100^\circ + m\angle B + 100^\circ + m\angle D = 360^\circ
\]
Simplifying gives:
\[
m\angle B + m\angle D = 360^\circ - 200^\circ = 160^\circ
\]
Since \( m\angle B = m\angle D \) in a rhombus (because opposite angles are equal), we can set:
\[
x + x = 160^\circ \quad \text{(where } x = m\angle B = m\angle D\text{)}
\]
\[
2x = 160^\circ
\]
\[
x = 80^\circ
\]
3. **Finding \( m\angle D \)**:
Thus, we found that \( m\angle D = 80^\circ \).
4. **Diagonals' Perpendicularity**:
The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles (i.e., they are perpendicular to each other). The angles formed at the intersection of the diagonals (let’s denote them as \( E \), where \( AC \) and \( BD \) intersect) are \( m\angle AEB \), \( m\angle CED \), \( m\angle AEC \), and \( m\angle BED \).
- Given \( m\angle A = m\angle C = 100^\circ \), when these angles are bisected by diagonals:
- Each half measures \( 50^\circ \).
- Given \( m\angle B = m\angle D = 80^\circ \), when these angles are bisected:
- Each half measures \( 40^\circ \).
At the intersection point \( E \):
\[
m\angle AEB + m\angle CED + m\angle AEC + m\angle BED = 180^\circ
\]
The \( 50^\circ \) and \( 50^\circ \) angles add to \( 100^\circ \), and the \( 40^\circ \) and \( 40^\circ \) angles add to \( 80^\circ \). Hence, the angle formations yield a right angle:
Therefore, the calculation stands correct. I can confirm that \( m\angle D = 80^\circ \) is correct, and from the properties of the rhombus, the diagonals are perpendicular. Thank you for your patience. If there's another specific requirement or concept you'd like me to clarify, please let me know!
