Consider △ ABC
We know that P and Q are the midpoints of AB and BC
So we get PQ || AC and
PQ = ½ AC …… (1)
Consider △ BCD
We know that Q and R are the midpoints of BC and CD
So we get QR || BD and
QR = ½ BD ……. (2)
Consider △ ACD
We know that S and R are the midpoints of AD and CD
So we get RS || AC and
RS = ½ AC …….. (3)
Consider △ ABD
We know that P and S are the midpoints of AB and AD
So we get SP || BD and
SP = ½ BD ……. (4)
Consider all the equations
PQ || RS and QR || SP
Hence, PQRS is a parallelogram
It is given that AC = BD
It can be written as
½ AC = ½ BD
So we get
PQ = QR = RS = SP
We know that AC and BD intersect at point O
So we get PS || BD
PN || MO
Based on equation (1)
We get PQ || AC
PM || NO
We know that the opposite angles are equal in a parallelogram
∠ MPN = ∠ MON
We know that ∠ BOA = ∠ MON
So we get
∠ MPN = ∠ BOA
We know that AC ⊥ BD and ∠ BOA = 90o
So we get
∠ MPN = 90o
It can be written as
∠ QPS = 90o
We know that PQ = QR = RS = SP
Therefore, it is proved that PQRS is a square.
