mark me as brainiest thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A parallelogram ABCD , in which AC = BD
TO Prove : ABCD is a rectangle .
Proof : In △ABC and △ABD
AB = AB [common]
AC = BD [given]
BC = AD [opp . sides of a | | gm]
⇒ △ABC ≅ △BAD [ by SSS congruence axiom]
⇒ ∠ABC = △BAD [c.p.c.t.]
Also, ∠ABC + ∠BAD = 180° [co - interior angles]
⇒ ∠ABC + ∠ABC = 180° [∵ ∠ABC = ∠BAD]
⇒ 2∠ABC = 180°
⇒ ∠ABC = 1 /2 × 180° = 90°
Hence, parallelogram ABCD is a rectangle.
