Given in the question,
ABCD is a rectangle and P, Q, R and S are mid-points of the sides AB, BC, CD and DA respectively.
Construction,
Join AC and BD.
To Prove,
PQRS is a rhombus.
Proof:
In ΔABC
P and Q are the mid-points of AB and BC respectively
, PQ || AC and PQ = ½ AC (Midpoint theorem) — (i)
In ΔADC,
SR || AC and SR = ½ AC (Midpoint theorem) — (ii)
So, PQ || SR and PQ = SR
As in quadrilateral PQRS one pair of opposite sides is equal and parallel to each other, so, it is a parallelogram.
, PS || QR and PS = QR (Opposite sides of parallelogram) — (iii)
Now,
In ΔBCD,
Q and R are mid points of side BC and CD respectively.
, QR || BD and QR = ½ BD (Midpoint theorem) — (iv)
AC = BD (Diagonals of a rectangle are equal) — (v)
From equations (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v),
PQ = QR = SR = PS
So, PQRS is a rhombus.
Hence Proved
