.
(a)   Find the midpoint of each diagonal of a square whose side length is x.
(b)   Is it true that the diagonals of a square intersect at their midpoint?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


First question   (part (a) )   makes no sense.


Regarding the second part (b),   the answer with explanations is below.


The diagonals of any parallelogram intersect at their midpoints.

A square is a parallelogram - - - hence, its diagonals intersect at their midpoints.
