Given: ABCD is a parallelogram with AC=BD.

To prove: ABCD is a rectangle.

Proof : In \triangleABC and \triangleBAD,   

  BC= AD            (Opposite sides of parallelogram)

  AC=BD              (Given )

  AB=AB               (common)

 \triangleABC \cong \triangleBAD   (By SSS)

  \angle ABC=\angle BAD             (CPCT)

and  \angle ABC+\angle BAD=180 \degree (co - interior angles)

   2\angle BAD=180 \degree

   \angle BAD= 90 \degree

Hence, it is a rectangle.
