Answer:


We cannot determine whether the quadrilateral QRST is rectangle or not.


Explanation:


A quadrilateral has four vertices. It may by square, rectangle, trapezium, parallelogram, rhombus, etc.


In quadrilateral QRST, QS and RT are diagonals of QRST.



QS=RT


It is given that the diagonals are same.


The diagonals of square, rectangle, isosceles trapezoid are same. Therefore by given information we cannot say that the quadrilateral QRST is a rectangle.


The different quadrilaterals are shown in below figure and these quadrilaterals have congruent diagonals.

Therefore if the diagonals are same then the quadrilateral may or may not be rectangle.
