solution
Given : that AK = BL = CM = DN
ABCD is a square
So we get
BK = CL = DM = AN (1)
Consider △ AKN and △ BLK
Given : that AK = BL
From the figure we know that ∠ A = ∠ B = 90°
Using equation (1) = AN = BK
By SAS congruence criterion
△ AKN ≅ △ BLK
We get
∠ AKN = ∠ BLK and ∠ ANK = ∠ BKL (c. p. c. t)
We know that
∠ AKN + ∠ ANK = 90°
∠ BLK + ∠ BKL = 90°
By adding both the equations
∠ AKN + ∠ ANK + ∠ BLK + ∠ BKL = 90° + 90°
On further calculation
2 ∠ ANK + 2 ∠ BLK = 180°
Dividing the equation by 2
∠ ANK + ∠ BLK = 90°
So we get
∠ NKL = 90°
In the same way
∠ KLM = ∠ LMN = ∠ MNK = 90°
Therefore, it is proved that KLMN is a square.
