ABCD is a square E, F, G and H are points on AB, BC, CD and DA respectively, such that AE=BF=CG=DH. Prove that EFGH is a square.

Given,


ABCD is a square


E,F,G,H are the points of AB, BC, CD, DA


Such that AE = BF = CG = DH


In ΔAEH & ΔBFE


Let,


AE = BF = CG = DH = x


BE = CF = DG = AF = y



In ΔAEH & ΔBFE


AE = BF (given)


A = B (each equal)


AH = BE


So, by SAS congruency


ΔAEH ΔBFE


1 = 2 & 3 = 4


1 + 3 = 90


2 + 4 = 90


1+2+3+4 = 180


1+4+1+4 = 180


2(1+4) = 180


1+4 = = 90


So, HEF = 90


Similarly we have,


F =G = H = 90


Hence, EFGH is a square.
