ABCD is a rectangle and P,Q,R,S are the mid points of the sides AB, BC, CD, and DA respectively. show that the quadrilateral PQRS is rhombus..
Any answer???
pls do this favour!!

Answer:
here AB=CD and BC=DA
Step-by-step explanation:
and PQRS are apoints
Here, we are joining A and C.
In ΔABC,
P is the mid point of AB
Q is the mid point of BC
PQ∣∣AC {Line segments joining the mid points of two sides of a triangle is parallel to AC(third side) and also is half of it}
PQ= ½AC
In ΔADC
R is mid point of CD
S is mid point of AD
RS∣∣AC (Line segments joining the mid points of two sides of a triangle is parallel to third side and also is half of it)
RS= ½AC
So, PQ∣∣RS and PQ=RS (one pair of opposite side is parallel and equal)
In ΔAPS & ΔBPQ
AP=BP [P is the mid point of AB)
∠PAS=∠PBQ (All the angles of rectangle are 90°)
AS=BQ
∴ΔAPS≅ΔBPQ (SAS congruency)
∴PS=PQ
BS=PQ & PQ=RS (opposite sides of parallelogram is equal)
∴ PQ=RS=PS=RQ (All sides are equal)
∴ PQRS is a parallelogram with all sides equal
∴ So PQRS is a rhombus.
