The coordinates of the vertices for the figure HIJK are H(0, 5), I(3, 3), J(4, –1), and K(1, 1).



To determine if it is a parallelogram, use the converse of the parallelogram diagonal theorem. This states that if the diagonals
, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.



The midpoint of HJ is
and the midpoint of IK is (2, 2).



Therefore, HIJK is a parallelogram because the diagonals
, which means they bisect each other.


Sagot :

Check the picture below.

well, HIJK is a parallelogram only if its diagonals bisect each other, if that's so, the midpoint of HJ is the same as the midpoint of IK, let's check
