उत्तर
Given: Let ABCD be a rectangle where P, Q, R, S are the midpoint of AB, BC, CD, DA.
To Prove: PQRS is a rhombus
Construction: Draw two diagonal BD and AC as shown in figure. Where BD = AC
(Since diagonal of the rectangle are equal)
Proof:
From ΔABD and ΔBCD
PS = `1/2` BD = QR and PS || BD || QR
2PS = 2QR = BD and PS || QR ...(1)
Similarly, 2PQ = 2SR = AC and PQ || SR ...(2)
From (1) and (2) we get
PQ = QR = RS = PS
Therefore, PQRS is a rhombus.
Hence, proved.
