Answer:

The Proof is given below.

Explanation:

Given:

LPQN is a Rectangle

PM = QM

To Prove:

LM = MN

Proof:

In ΔLPM and Δ NQM

LP ≅ NQ ……{ Opposite sides of a Rectangle are congruent }

∠L ≅ ∠N =90° ……{ Measure of each vertex angle of rectangle are 90° }

PM ≅ QM ……{ Given }

ΔLPM ≅ ΔNQM …....{ By Hypotenuse Leg congruence test }

∴ LM ≅ MN ......{corresponding parts of congruent triangle }....Proved
