The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
\n" ); document.write( "that means that the midpoint of AC is also the midpoint of BD.
\n" ); document.write( "Thee coordinates of the midpoint of a segment
\n" ); document.write( "are the averages of the corresponding coordinates
\n" ); document.write( "of the endpoints of the segment.
\n" ); document.write( "The midpoint of AC is ((2+(-1))/2,(0+1)/2) = (1/2,1/2) .
\n" ); document.write( "The midpoint of BD is ((p+3)/2,(-2+r)/2) .
\n" ); document.write( "So \"%28p%2B3%29%2F2=1%2F2\" <--> \"p%2B3=1\" <--> \"p=1-3\" <--> \"highlight%28p=-2%29\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28-2%2Br%29%2F2=1%2F2\" <--> \"-2%2Br=1\" <--> \"r=1%2B2\" <--> \"highlight%28r=3%29\" .
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
