ABCD is a rectangle and klmn are the midpoints of the sides ab BC CD respectively if kn and is equal to 3 cm ab is equal to 5 cm and then find BD and LM what kind of quadrilateral is KLMN
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
ABCD is a square, so
AB = BC = CD = DA ...(1)
Also
AK = BL = CM = DN .....(2)
Subtracting (2) from (1)
We get
AB- AK = BC - BL = CD - CM = DA - DN
BK = CL = DM = AN ...(3)
So now we have
AK = BL = CM = DN
AN = BK= CL = DM
Squaring and adding
AK² + AN² = BL² + BK²= CM² + CL² = DN² + DM² ...(4)
But
By Pythagorean theorem (4) Becomes
KN² = KL² = LM² = NM²
So
KN = KL = LM = NM
So KLMN is a rhombus
But <1 = <3 as triangles are congruent
And < 1 + <2 = 90
So <2 + <3 = 90
Hence
Therefore KLMN is a square.
K,L,M and N are points on the sides AB,BC,CD and DA respectively of a square ABCD such that AK=BL=CM=DN. Prove that KLMN is a square

As ABCD is a square, so
AB = BC = CD = DA ...(1)
Also
AK = BL = CM = DN .....(2)
Subtracting (2) from (1)
We get
AB- AK = BC - BL = CD - CM = DA - DN
BK = CL = DM = AN ...(3)
So now we have
AK = BL = CM = DN
AN = BK= CL = DM
Squaring and adding
AK² + AN² = BL² + BK²= CM² + CL² = DN² + DM² ...(4)
But
By Pythagorean theorem (4) Becomes
KN² = KL² = LM² = NM²
So
KN = KL = LM = NM
So KLMN is a rhombus
But <1 = <3 as triangles are congruent
And < 1 + <2 = 90
So <2 + <3 = 90
Hence
Therefore KLMN is a square.
