Algebra.Com's Answer #682838 by KMST(5328)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! A parallelogram's diagonals bisect each other, \n" ); document.write( "so they intersect at a point that is \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "We can locate that point by drawing \n" ); document.write( "an arc with radius \n" ); document.write( "an arc with radius \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( " |
