Show that the line segments joining the mid-points of opposite sides of a quadrilateral bisects each other.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let `ABCD` is the given quadrilateral.
Please refer to video to see the diagram with their vector representation.
Let `O` is the origin and `E,F,G and H` are the mid points of sides of quadrilateral.
Then,
`vec(OE) = (veca+vecb)/2`
`vec(OF) = (vecb+vecc)/2`
`vec(OG) = (vecc+vecd)/2`
`vec(OH) = (veca+vecd)/2`
