The square is PQRS. Please see the image.

Construction : MN || PS || QR

In Triangle SON,
SO² = ON² + SN² -(1)

In triangle RON,
RO² = RN² + ON² -(2)

In triangle POM,
PO² = PM² + OM² -(3)

In triangle QOM,
QO² = OM² + QM² -(4)

(1) - (2) and (3) - (4)

SO² - RO² = SN² - RN² --(5)
PO² - QO² = OM² - QM² --(6)


Now,
PM = SN
MQ = NR

After substituting this in (5) and (6) and adding them we get

OP² + OR² = OQ² + OS²
