Prove: If the diagonals of a parallelogram are congruent, then the parallelogram is a rectangle.

Short Answer

Expert verified

A parallelogram is a rectangle if the diagonals of the parallelogram are congruent.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Consider the diagram.

The figure is made having diagonals AC and BD

Here, ABCD is a parallelogram and AC鈫�鈮�BD鈫�

02

Step 2. State the proof.

In 螖ABCand 螖ABD.

AB=AB (Common)

AC=BD (Given)

BC=AD (Sides of a parallelogram)

So, 螖ABC鈮�螖ABD by SSS postulate.

Therefore, by CPCT 鈭�ABC鈮�鈭�BAD.

Using the property of co-interior angles in a parallelogram.

鈭�ABC+鈭�BAD=1802鈭�ABC=180As鈭�ABC鈮�鈭�BAD鈭�ABC=90

Therefore, parallelogram ABCD is a rectangle.

03

Step 3. State the conclusion.

Therefore, parallelogram ABCD is a rectangle if the diagonals of the parallelogram are congruent (proved).
