Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let ABCD be the parallelogram
Its given that diagonals are equal
ie AC = BD
To Prove:- ABCD is a rectangle
Proof:-
Rectangle is a parallelogram with one angle is 90 degrees
We prove that one of its angle is 90 degrees
Consider triangles ABC and DCB.
AB = DC
AC = DB
∴ ΔABC ≅ ΔDCB [SSS congruence criterion]
∠ABC = ∠DCB [CPCT] -----EQN 1
Now AB ║ DC
And BC is transversal
∠B + ∠C = 180°
From Equation ∠B = ∠C
∠B + ∠B = 180°
2∠B = 180°
∠B = 180°/2
90°
Therefore, parallelogram ABCD is a rectangle since a parallelogram with one right interior angle is a rectangle.
