Show that the quadrilateral formed by joining the mid-points of the consecutive sides of a square is also a square.
Let ABCD is a square.
AB = BC = CD = AD
P,Q,R and S are mid-points of AB,BC,CD and DA, respectively.
Now, in ΔADC,
SR||AC and SR = AC
In ΔABC,
PQ||AC and PQ = AC
SR||PQ and SR = PQ = AC
Similarly,
SP||BD and BD||RQ
SP||RQ and SP = BD
And RQ = BD
SP = RQ = BD
Since, diagonals of a square bisect each other at right angles.
AC = BD
SP = RQ = AC
SR = PQ = SP = RQ
All sides are equal.
Now, in quad OERF,
OE||FR and OF||ER
∠EOF = ∠ERF = 90
Hence, PQRS is a square.
