The vertices of parallelogram ABCD are located at points A(-2,-1), B(6,1), C(10,7), and D(2,5). Which of the following statements are true? Select all that appl class=

Answer :

The statements which are true are:

(6, 6) is the midpoint of CD

(4, 3) is the intersection point of diagonals of parallelogram

Solution:

The mid point (x,y) = [tex]( \frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})[/tex]

Midpoint of AB

A(-2, -1) and B(6, 1)

[tex]\text{ midpoint of AB } = (\frac{-2+6}{2} , \frac{-1+1}{2})\\\\\text{ midpoint of AB } = (2, 0)[/tex]

Thus statement 1 is wrong

Midpoint of BC

B(6, 1) and C(10, 7)

[tex]\text{ midpoint of BC } = (\frac{6+10}{2} , \frac{1+7}{2})\\\\\text{ midpoint of BC } = (8, 4)[/tex]

Thus statement 2 is wrong

Mid point of CD

Here ,

[tex]x_1[/tex] = 10

[tex]x_2[/tex]= 2

[tex]y_1[/tex]= 7

[tex]y_2[/tex]=5

now substituting these values,

mid point of CD  = [tex](\frac{10+2}{2},\frac{7+5}{2})[/tex]

mid point of CD  = [tex](\frac{12}{2},\frac{12}{2})[/tex]  

mid point of CD  = [tex](6, 6)[/tex]

Therefore (6, 6) is the midpoint of CD

Statement 3 is correct

Midpoint of AD

A = (-2, -1) and D = (2, 5)

[tex]\text{ mid point of AD } = (\frac{-2+2}{2} , \frac{-1+5}{2})\\\\\text{ mid point of AD } = (0, 2)[/tex]

Thus statement 4 is wrong

Intersection point of diagonals of parallelogram

Let AC and BD be the diagonals of parallelogram

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, therefore, the point of intersection is the midpoint of either.

Midpoint of AC:

A = (-2, -1) and C(10, 7)

[tex]\text{ Midpoint of AC } = (\frac{-2+10}{2} , \frac{-1+7}{2})\\\\\text{ Midpoint of AC } = (4,3)[/tex]

Thus statement 5 is correct
