To prove:
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Rectangle QRST and parallelogram
Concept used:
Diagonals of rectangles are equal and bisect each other.
The opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal.
Proof:
Construct a rectangle QRST and parallelogram
Now join QS to form
It is to prove that
In rectangle QRST , TR and SQ are the diagonals of rectangle. As the diagonals of the rectangle are of equal length we can say that
Now in the parallelogram RKST , RT and SK are parallel sides of the parallelogram, and thus
Therefore,
Thus, in
