Solution:
Given ABCD and PQRS are rectangles.
AC is diagonal and Q is the midpoint of AC.
So AQ = QC
(i)
AD || PQ In triangle ACD.
By Basic proportionality theorem
DP/PC = AQ/QC = 1/1
So DP = PC
(ii)
We know AQ = QC = 1/2 AC
In the rectangle PQRS, diagonals PR, and QC are equal in length and bisect each other.
So PR = QC = 1/2 AC or
PR = 1/2 AC
