At firstwe can easily prove that ABM ≡ CDM using the SAS congruence test. (alternate angles are equal).
Hence, ABCD is a parallelogram, because one pair of opposite sides are equal and parallel.
Thereafter, ABCD is also a rectangle, because it is a parallelogram with one right angle.

Step-by-step explanation:
Given : ABCD is rectangle.
To Prove : ABCD is a parallelogram.
Proof : ABCD is a rectangle.
A = B = C = D = 90°........( angle of a rectangle )
In ABCD,
A = C } Opposite angle
B = D } are congruent.
ABCD is a parallelogram.......( property of parallelogram )
