A square is defined as a rectangle whose adjacent (or all) sides are equal .
Alternately a square is a Rhombus whose adjacent sides are at right angles.
Let O be the intersection of diagonals AC and BD. In triangle ABC, AB=BC. Angle B=90°. So angles BCA and BAC are equal and = 45°.
Similarly in triangle BCD, Angles CBD = angle CDB = 45°. Reason: angle C=90°. BC=CD.
So in triangle BOC we find Angle BOC = 180-45 -45 =90°. So diagonals intersect at right angles.
Also BO = OC as angles OBC = angle OCB. Similarly in triangle AOD we get AO = OD. In triangle AOB, AO =OB. In triangle COD, CO =OD.
So diagonals bisect each other.
