Using dot product of vectors, prove that a parallelogram, whose diagonals are equal, is a rectangle

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Take A B C D be a parallelogram

To prove A B C D be a rectangle provided the diagonals are equal.

`vec{{AC}}=vec{{AB}}+vec{{BC}} `

`vec{{BD}}=vec{{BC}}+vec{{CD}}=vec{{BC}}-vec{{AB}}`

But `(vec{{AC}})^{2}=(vec{{BD}})^{2}`
