Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider a quadrilateral ABCD
In which AC and BD are diagonals bisecting each other at right angle
Let the intersecting point be O
Then AOB is a right triangle with angle AOB=90°
In triangle AOB,
AB *AB=AO*AO+OB*OB
Similarly all the triangles formed while intersecting will be like this
That's we get AB=BC=CD=DA
Which can only occur in a square or a rhombus
But the point to note is that we can't identify it is a square or a rhombus

Step-by-step explanation:
Take quadrilateral ABCD , AC and BD are diagonals which intersect at O.
In △AOB and △AOD
DO=OB ∣ O is the midpoint
AO=AO ∣ Common side
∠AOB=∠AOD ∣ Right angle
So, △AOB≅△AOD
So, AB=AD
Similarly, AB=BC=CD=AD can be proved which means that ABCD is a rhombus.
