Answer:
Given.Let ABCD be a parallelogram
where AC=BD
To prove.ABCD is a rectangle
Proof.rectangle is a parallelogram with one angle 90°
we prove that one of its interior angles in 90°
In ∆ABC=∆DCB
AB= DC. (opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal)
BC=BC. (Common)
AC=DB. (Given)
therefore ∆ABC =~ ∆DCB (SSS congruence rule )
=angleABC =angleDCB (CPCT)
AB || DC (opposite sides of parallelogram are parallel)
&BC is a transversal
therefore angleB + angleC = 180°
(interior angle on the same side of transversal are supplementry )
angleB+ angleB = 180° ( from 1: angleB = angleC )
2angleB = 180°
angleB=180°/2=90°
So,ABCD is a parallelogram with one angle 90°
therefore ABCD is a rectangle
