S
Show that the quadrilateral formed by joining the mid-points of
the pairs of adjacent sides of a rhombus is a rectangle.
Hint. Join AC and BD to intersect at O.
Show that PQRS is a ll gm.
Now, EOFR is a Ilgm. So, 2 ERF = _ EOF = 90°)
please friends send me the answer soon

Consider △ ABC
We know that P and Q are the mid points of AB and BC
By using the midpoint theorem
We know that PQ || AC and PQ = ½ AC
Consider △ ADC
We know that RS || AC and RS = ½ AC
It can be written as PQ || RS and
PR = RS = ½ AC ……. (1)
Consider △ BAD
We know that P and S are the mid points of AB and AD
Based on the midpoint theorem
We know that PS || BD and PS = ½ DB
Consider △ BCD
We know that RQ || BD and RQ = ½ DB
It can be written as PS || RQ and
PS = RQ = ½ DB ……. (2)
By considering equations (1) and (2)
The diagonals intersects at right angles in a rhombus
So we get ∠ EQF = 90°
We know that RQ || DB
So we get RE || FO
In the same way SR || AC
So we get FR || OE
So we know that OERF is a parallelogram.
We know that the opposite angles are equal in a parallelogram
So we get
∠ FRE = ∠ EOF = 90°
So we know that PQRS is a parallelogram having ∠ R = 90°
Therefore, it is proved that the quadrilateral formed by joining the midpoints of the pairs of adjacent sides of a rhombus is a rectangle.
