The document demonstrates that if the diagonals of a parallelogram are equal, then it is a rectangle by proving that one interior angle is 90º. It also shows that the diagonals of a square are equal and bisect each other at right angles through congruence proofs. The use of congruence rules and properties of angles and sides in both shapes is highlighted.

Q 1.

If the diagonals of a parallelogram are


equal, then show that it is a rectangle

Let ABCD be a parallelogram.


To show that : ABCD is a rectangle,
(we have to prove that one of its interior angles
is 90º).

In ΔADC and ΔBCD,

AD=BC (Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal)

DC = CD (Common)

AC=DB (Given)

∴ΔADC≅ΔBCD (By SSS Congruence rule)

⇒∠ADC=∠BCD

But, ∠ADC+∠BCD=180º (As AD||BC and DC is transversal line)

(It is known that the sum of the measures of angles on the same side of
transversal is180º)

⇒∠ADC +∠ADC=180º

⇒2∠ADC =180º

⇒∠ADC=90º

Since ABCD is a parallelogram and one of its interior angles is 90º

Hence ABCD is a rectangle.

Q2 .Show that the diagonals of a square are equal and bisect each other at
right angles.
Let ABCD be a square.
Let the diagonals AC and BD intersect each other at a point O.

∠AOB =90º.
To Show: AC = BD, OA = OC,OB = OD and

In ΔABC and ΔDCB,

AB = DC (Sides of a square are equal to each other)

∠ABC = ∠DCB (All interior angles are of 90 )

BC = CB (Common )

∴ ΔABC ≅ ΔDCB (By SAS congruency)


∴ AC = BD (By CPCT)
Hence, the diagonals of a square are equal in length.

Now,

In ΔAOB and ΔCOD,

∠AOB = ∠COD
∠ABO = ∠CDO
(Vertically opposite angles)
(Alternate interior angles)

AB = CD (Sides of a square are always equal)

∴ ΔAOB ≅ ΔCOD
∴ AO = CO and OB = OD (By CPCT)………..(1)
(By AAS congruence rule)

Hence, the diagonals of a square bisect each other.

In ΔAOB and ΔCOB,


AO = CO from (1)

AB = CB (Sides of a square are equal)


BO = BO (Common)

∴ ΔAOB ≅ ΔCOB (By SSS congruency)

∴ ∠AOB = ∠COB (By CPCT)

But , ∠AOB + ∠COB = 180 º (Linear pair)

⸫ 2∠AOB = 180 º

∠AOB = 90 º

Hence, the diagonals of a square bisect each other at right angles.
