Given that the diagonals AC and BD of parallelogram ABCD are congruent.
Consider triangles ABD and ACD.
AC = BD [Given]
AB =  DC [opposite sides of a parallelogram]
AD = AD [Common side]
∴ ΔABD ≅ ΔDCA [SSS congruence criterion]
∠BAD = ∠CDA [CPCT]
∠BAD + ∠CDA = 180° [Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.]
So, ∠BAD and ∠CDA are right angles as they are congruent and supplementary.  
Therefore, parallelogram ABCD is a rectangle since a parallelogram with one right interior angle is a rectangle.
