Given : ABCD is a quadrilateral in which AC ⊥ BD,

quadrilateral formed by joining  the mid-points of consecutive sides of the quadrilateral ABCD

To Find : prove that Quadrilateral formed   is a rectangle​

Solution:

ABCD is a quadrilateral in which AC ⊥ BD,

Let say P , Q , R & S are mid points on AB , BC , CD and AD

line joining the mid-point of two sides of a triangle is parallel to third side and equal to half the length of the third side

PQ || AC   and PQ = AC/2

Similarly RS || AC and RS = AC/2

=> PQ = RS

and QR || BD  , QR = BD/2

PS || BD ,  PS = BD/2

=> QR = PS

AC ⊥ BD

=> PQ ⊥  QR  and PR

RS ⊥ QR  and PS

Opposite sides are equal and adjacent sides are perpendicular

Hence PQRS is a rectangle.
