Given: In a square ABCD, P, Q, R and S are the mid-points of AB, BC, CD and DA, respectively.
To Prove: PQRS is a square.
Construction : Join AC and BD
Proof : ABCD is a square
AB = BC = CD = AD
Also, P, Q,R and S are the mid-points of AB, BC, CD and DA, respectively.
In `triangleADC`, `SR|\|AC`
`SR=1/2AC`(By mid-point theorem)
