Rule: The diagonals of any parallelogram bisect each other. In other words, they cut each other in half.

This means DF is cut into two equal pieces: DH and HF.
Similarly, GE is cut into two equal pieces: GH and HE.

DH = HF
x+5 = 2y
x = 2y-5

GH = HE
4x-3 = 4y+1
4(x)-3 = 4y+1
4(2y-5)-3 = 4y+1 ... x has been replaced with 2y-5
8y-20-3 = 4y+1
8y-23 = 4y+1
8y-4y = 1+23
4y = 24
y = 6

If y = 6, then x is
x = 2y-5
x = 2(6)-5
x = 12-5
x = 7

--------------------------------------------

Answers: 
x = 7 and y = 6

5. In the triangle ABC. M is the midpoint of [AB] and N is the midpoint of [CM].
sweet [91]

Answer:

N(2,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

  • Given that, In the triangle ABC. M is the midpoint of AB and N is the midpoint of CM And A(-1, 3), B(7-3) and C(1,6).
  • Thus, For coordinates of N. first We have to find the Coordinate of M(x,y). As Given M is the Midpoint of A(-1, 3) and B(7-3).

Thus, M(x,y) = (-1+7)/2 , (3-3)/2 ⇒ M(3,0)

  • Now, As Given, N(a,b) is the Midpoint Of C(1,6) and M(3,0).

Thus. N(a,b) = (1+3)/2 , (6+0)/2  ⇒ N(2,3)

Please help :)<br> .....................
Kay [80]
There are web sites and videos that stand ready to show you how to bisect an angle.

The basic idea is that you draw an arc through both rays so that the points of intersection are the same distance from the vertex. Then, you construct a perpendicular bisector of the segment between those intersection points. That will bisect the angle.

For (3), you bisect each of the angles made by the original bisector. (1/2 of 1/2 = 1/4)
