Here is your solution
In ΔABC, P and Q are the mid-points of sides AB and BC respectively.
∴ PQ || AC and PQ =AC (Using mid-point theorem) ... (1)
In ΔADC,
R and S are the mid-points of CD and AD respectively.
∴ RS || AC and RS =AC (Using mid-point theorem) ... (2)
From equations (1) and (2), we obtain
PQ || RS and PQ = RS
Since in quadrilateral PQRS, one pair of opposite sides is equal and parallel to each other, it is a parallelogram.
Let
the diagonals of rhombus ABCD intersect each other at point O.
In quadrilateral OMQN,
MQ || ON (PQ || AC)
QN || OM (QR || BD)
Therefore, OMQN is a parallelogram.
⇒ ∠MQN = ∠NOM
⇒ ∠PQR = ∠NOM
However, ∠NOM = 90° (Diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other)
∴ ∠PQR = 90°
Clearly, PQRS is a parallelogram having one of its interior angles as 90º.
