  1. Given: ABCD is a quadrilateral such that AC = BD, AO = CO, BO = DO and ∠COD = 90°.
    To prove: ABCD is a square.
    Solution: If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisects each other at right angle, it is a rhombus .
    Hence, AB = BC = CD = DA
    In ΔBAD and ΔABC,
    AD = BC [∵ Proved above]
    BD = AC [∵ Given]
    AB = AB [∵ Common]
    Hence, ΔBAD ΔABC [∵ SSS Congruency rule]
    ∠BAD = ∠ABC [∵ CPCT]
    But, ∠BAD + ∠ABC = 180° [∵ Co-interior angles]
    ⇒ 2∠ABC = 180° [∵ ∠BAD = ∠ABC]
    ⇒ ∠ABC = (180°/2) = 90°
    Hence, if the diagonals of a quadrilateral are equal and bisect each other at right angles, than it is a square.
