उत्तर
The quadrilateral formed by joining the mid-points of the sides of a quadrilateral PQRS, taken in order, is a rectangle, if diagonals of PQRS are perpendicular.
Explanation:
Since, diagonals of rectangle are equal
∴ AC = BD
⇒ PQ = QR
∴ PQRS is a rhombus
Diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular.
