Answer with explanation:

A Quadrilateral A B CD, in which diagonals intersect each other at O.

In Δ AOB and ΔCOD

AO=OC-----[Given]

∠AOB=∠COD→→→Vertically Opposite Angles

BO=OD------[Given]

Δ AOB ≅ ΔCOD-------[SAS]

1.⇒AB=CD→→→C PCT

Now, In ΔA OD and Δ B O C

A O=O C-----[Given]

BO=OD-----[Given]

∠AOD=∠BOC→→→Vertically Opposite angles

ΔA OD ≅ Δ B O C------[S AS]

2.⇒ AD=BC→→[C P CT]

From 1 and 2,

If in a Quadrilateral , opposite sides are equal, then it is a Parallelogram.
