Let a square ABCD in which L,M,N&O are the midpoints .
in triangle AML and triangle CNO
AM = CN ( AB = DC and M and O are the midpoints )
AL = CM ( AD = BC and L and N are the midpoints )
angle MAL = angle NCO ( all angles of a square = 90 degree )
by AAS critaria
triangle AML CONGRUENT to triangle CNO
therefore ML = ON ( CPCT )
similarly in triangle MBN CONGRUENT to LDO and
AND triangle AML is CONGRUENT to triangle
now ,
in Triangle AML ,
angle AML = angle ALM ( AM = AL )
= 45 degree
similarly in triangle LDO
angle DLO = 45 degree
there fore ,
angle MLO = 90 degree
by the properties of SQUARE
all sides are equal and angles are 90 degree
