A parallelogram's diagonals bisect each other,
\n" ); document.write( "so they intersect at a point that is
\n" ); document.write( "\"5.6cm%2F2=2.8cm\" from one end of the \"4.4cm\" side, and
\n" ); document.write( "\"7cm%2F2=3.5cm\" from the other end.
\n" ); document.write( "We can locate that point by drawing
\n" ); document.write( "an arc with radius\"2.8cm\" centered at one end of a \"4.4cm\" side/segment, and
\n" ); document.write( "an arc with radius\"3.5cm\" centered at the other end of the same \"4.4cm\" side/segment
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Connecting that point to the ends of the segment
\n" ); document.write( "shows us half of each diagonal.
\n" ); document.write( "If we extend the half-diagonal segments by the same length,
\n" ); document.write( "we have the diagonals,
\n" ); document.write( "and the free ends of those diagonals
\n" ); document.write( "are the other two vertices of the parallelogram
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
