and each angle measure 90°
in any rectangle take 2 triangles having a common base .
and by SAS congruence rule
they r congruent
by CPCT diagonals are equal.

Given❇:
Rectangle ABCD
To Prove❇:
Segment AC ≅ segment BD
Solution❇:
Since ABCD is a rectangle, it is also a parallelogram.
Since ABCD is a parallelogram, segment AB ≅ segment DC because opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent.
BC ≅ BC by the Reflexive Property of Congruence.
Furthermore, ∠ABC and ∠DCB are right angles by the definition of rectangle.
∠ABC ≅ ∠DCB since all right angles are congruent.
segment AB ≅ segment DC
∠ABC ≅ ∠DCB
BC ≅ BC
Therefore, by SAS, triangle ABC ≅ triangle DCB.
Since triangle ABC ≅ triangle DCB, segment AC ≅ segment BD
