Suppose in a rectangle, the diagonals are perpendicular to each other. Prove that it is a square.
Open in App
Solution
Consider two
△
A
E
D
ξ
△
A
E
B
Now,
A
E
=
A
E
[ Because they are the same line ]
⇒
E
D
=
E
B
[ Diagonals of rectangle bisect each other ]
and
∠
A
E
D
=
∠
A
E
B
.
(Given)
∴
△
A
E
D
≅
△
A
E
B
[ by SAS ]
Then we have
A
D
=
A
B
........(1)
Again in this rectangle
A
D
=
B
C
.........(2) and
C
D
=
A
B
......(3).
From (1) , (2) and (3) we have
A
B
=
B
C
=
C
D
=
D
A
with the angles right-angle.
So, ABCD is a square.
