ABCD is a parallelogram. If its diagonals are equal, prove that it is a rectangle.
Answers
Answer:
Let ABCD be a parallelogram. To show that ABCD is a rectangle, we have to prove that one of
its interior angles is 900.
In ΔABC and ΔDCB,
AB = DC (Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal)
BC = BC (Common)
AC = DB (Given)
By SSS congruence rule,
ΔABC ≅ ΔDCB
So, ∠ABC = ∠DCB
It is known that the sum of measures of angles on the same side of traversal is 1800
∠ABC + ∠DCB = 1800 [AB || CD]
=> ∠ABC + ∠ABC = 1800
=> 2∠ABC = 1800
=> ∠ABC = 900
Since ABCD is a parallelogram and one of its interior angles is 900, ABCD is a rectangle.

Answer:
AB should be parallel and so should CD
Step-by-step explanation:if it is A rectangle A should be on top and B should be on the bottom and C should be on one of the sides, and d should be on one of the other sides.
