Consider a parallelogram ABCD. Fill the blanks to find the type of parallelogram obtained if the diagonals of the parallelogram are equal.

Question Image

In ∆ ABC and ∆ ABD,

AB is the common side.

AC = BD (Diagonals are equal)

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

∴ By SSS rule of congruency, the ∆ ABC and ∆ ABD are congruent.

∠ DAB = ∠ CBA (By CPCT)

Similarly,

∠ CDA = ∠ DCB

But ∠ DAB + ∠ CBA = 180 degrees (Co interior angles of parallel lines are supplementary)

∴ ABCD is a .
