Step-by-step explanation:
In triangle BAD, P and S are midpoints of AB and BD
= PS || AD and PS=1/2AD ---(1) [ By BPT]
Similarly in Triangle CAD,
= OR || AD and QR= 1/2AD ---(2)
From (1) and (2), we get
= PS || QR and PS=QR= 1/2AD ---(3)
In Triangle BDC, we get
= SR || BC and SR= 1/2BC ---(4)
And in Triangle ABC
PQ || BC and PQ= 1/2BC ---(5)
= PQ || BC and PQ= 1/2BC ---(6) [From (4) and (5)]
Therefore Square PQRS is a parallelogram.
Now, AD = BC
Therefore 1/2AD = 1/2BC
Therefore PS = QR = PQ = SR [From (3) and (6)]
Therefore Square PQRS is a rhombus.
