Question 190492: Figure ABCO is a parallelogram. coordinates are A(a,b) B(a+c,b) C(c,zero) O(zero,zero). What are the coordinates of the point of intersection of the diagonals? What are the coordinates of the point of intersection of the diagonals?

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, so the coordinates of the point of intersection are the coordinates of the midpoint of either diagonal. Use the midpoint formulae:
Where )
and )
are the coordinates of the endpoints of either diagonal. Then the ordered pair, )
will be your answer.
