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

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
.
