hey bae. here is your ans
Answer:
Here, ABCD is a quadrilateral. AC and BD are diagonals, which are perpendicular to each other.
P,Q, R and S are the mid-point of AB,BC,CD and AD respectively.
In △ABC,
Pand Q are mid points of AB and BC respectively.
∴ PQ∥AC and PQ=1/2AC. - ( 1 ) [ By mid-point theorem ]
Similarly, in △ACD,
R and Sare mid-points of sides CD and AD respectively.
∴SR∥AC and SR=1/2AC ----- ( 2 ) [ By mid-point theorem ]
From ( 1 ) and ( 2 ), we get
PQ∥SR and PQ=SR
∴PQRS is a parallelogram.
Now, RS∥AC and QR∥BD.
⇒ Also, AC⊥BD [ Given ]
∴ RS⊥QR
∴ PQRS is a rectangle.
