Q. 53.8( 9 Votes )
The quadrilateral A. PQRS is a rhombus
B. PQRS is a parallelogram
C. diagonals of PQRS are perpendicular
D. diagonals of PQRS are equal.
Answer :
The Midpoint Theorem states that the segment joining two sides of a triangle at the midpoints of those sides is parallel to the third side and is half the length of the third side.
∵ ABCD is a rhombus
∴ AB = BC = CD = DA
Now,
∵ D and C are midpoints of PQ and PS
∴ DC = 1/2QS [By midpoint theorem]
Also,
∵ B and C are midpoints of SR and PS
∴ BC = 1/2PR [By midpoint theorem]
∵ ABCD is a rhombus
∴ BC = CD
⇒ 1/2QS = 1/2PR
⇒ QS = PR
Hence, diagonals of PQRS are equal
