Answer»

Forthe asked question, we need to draw a rectangle, that is,

Consider a rectangle ABCD, Join B and D, similarly join A and C, therefore by joining this Diagonals AC and BD are formed.

Now in triangle BAD,BD2= AB2+AD2( by pythagorus theorm.)

Similarly in triangle BAC,AC2=BC2+AB2(same reason.)

Therefore BC=AD and AB is the commom in both,so AC2=BD2.

Which implies that AC =BD.

Hence,Proved.
