to find the area of the rectangle we need the length of the side
P,Q,R, and S are midpoints of AB, BC, CD and AD respectively of square ABCD.
So, that the quadrilateral PQRS is (special case of rectangle) inscribed in the square ABCD


If the length of each side of the square ABCD is , then the length of the side is
the area of the rectangle is:
