Answer 2

Given: ABCD is a parallelogram and AC = BD

To prove: ABCD is a rectangle

Proof:  In  Δ ACB and ΔDCB

AB = DC _____ Opposite sides of parallelogram are equal

BC = BC _____ Common side

AC = DB _____ Given

Therefore,

Δ ACB ≅ ΔDCB by S.S.S test

Angle ABC = Angle DCB ______ C.A.C.T

Now,

AB ║ DC _______ Opposite sides of parallelogram are parallel

Therefore,

Angle B + Angle C = 180 degree (Interior angles are supplementary)

Angle B + Angle B = 180

2 Angle B  = 180 degree

Angle B = 90 degree

Similarly, we can prove that, Angle A = 90 degree, Angle C = 90 degree and Angle D = 90 degree.

Therefore, ABCD is a rectangle.
