Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We have ,
P,Q,R,S are mid points of quadrilateral
Therefore
By mid point theorem
PQ parallel to BD
and PQ=1 BY 2 times BD .......1
Similarly,we can prove that
RS || BD and RS =1 BY 2 times BD.......2
Therefore,from 1 and 2
□PQRS is a rectangle
Therefore angle P= angle Q=90degree....property of rectangle ....A
Now,
In triangle PQR and triangle PRS,
1.angle Q=angle S....angles of rect.
2.PQ=RS.....earlier proved
3.PR=PR ...... Common side
Therefore,by RHS-test of congruence
Triangle PQR= triangle PRS
Therefore
PQ=PS ....CPCT .....B
Therefore,from A and B
□PQRS is a square
Hence proved!
