Solution


Consider two AED ξ AEB
Now, AE=AE [ Because they are the same line ]
ED=EB [ Diagonals of rectangle bisect each other ]
and AED=AEB. (Given)
AEDAEB [ by SAS ]
Then we have AD=AB........(1)
Again in this rectangle AD=BC.........(2) and CD=AB......(3).
From (1) , (2) and (3) we have AB=BC=CD=DA with the angles right-angle.
So, ABCD is a square.
