Suppose that you repeated questions 5 and 6 using two line segments of your choice. The line segments could be any length and in any
orientation as long as the midpoints were marked correctly and coincided with each other. Would you reach the same conclusion that you
reached in question 7? How does your conclusion relate to the diagonals of a parallelogram?

  1. Yes, I would you reach the same conclusion.
  2. If the point of intersection of the diagonals divide each diagonal in half, then, the quadrilateral belonging to these diagonals forms a parallelogram.

What is a line segment?

A line segment can be defined as the part of a line in a geometric figure such as a parallelogram, that is bounded by two (2) distinct points and it typically has a fixed length.

In Geometry, a line segment can be measured by using the following measuring instruments:

  • A scale (ruler).
  • A divider.

What is a parallelogram?

A parallelogram refers to a geometrical figure (shape) and it can be defined as a type of quadrilateral and two-dimensional geometrical figure that has two (2) equal and parallel opposite sides.

Based on the previous experiment conducted in question 5, 6 and 7, we can logically conclude that the opposite sides of quadrilateral ABCD have the same (equal) slopes, which implies that the opposite sides are parallel. Hence, quadrilateral ABCD is simply a parallelogram by definition.

In this context, yes I would you reach the same conclusion that I reached in question 7 because the line segments that I drew represent the diagonals of a parallelogram.

Therefore, if the point of intersection of the diagonals divide each diagonal in half, then, the quadrilateral belonging to these diagonals forms a parallelogram.
