    1)angle APB and DPC are vertically opposite,hence equal
    2)opposite sides are similar in ABCD because the diagonals are perpendicular to each other, hence have equal length
    3)angle PLA and angle PMD are alternate angles, hence equal

    Therefore, by ASA(angle-side-angle) postulate, triangles ABP and DCP are congruent.

    Also,
    PL=PM
    Therefore, if PL bisects AB then, PM bisects DC.
