show that if the diagonals of a quadrilateral PQRS is a rectangle
Answers
Answer:
i think the question is incomplete
Let us consider a quadrilateral ABCD whose diagonal are perpendicular to each other AC & BD.
PQRS is a rectangle.
Proof :- In ∆ ABC , P and Q are mid points of AB & BC respectively.
PQ || AC and PQ = ------ (i)
Further in ∆ ACD , R and S are mid points CD and DA respectively.
SR || AC and SR ------ (ii)
From (i) and (ii) we have PQ || SR & PQ = SR .
Thus, one pair of opposite sides of quadrilateral PQRS are parallel and equal.
PQRS is a parallelogram.
Since, PQ || AC PM || NO
In ∆ ABD , P and S are mid point of AB and AD respectively.
PS || BD [mid point theorem]
PN || MO
Opposite sides of quadrilateral PMON are parallel.
PMON is a parallelogram.
But ,
Thus, PQRS is a Parallelogram whose angle is 90°
