Activity 2.4
1. Construct the midpoint of each side of quadrilateral QUAD.
Choose the midpoint tool and click on each side.
2. Connect the midpoints of adjacent sides.
Use the segment tool to connect the midpoints.
The segments connecting the midpoints are called the midsegments.
What is the shape created by the midsegments?
Parallelogram

Create the midpoints of each side, then connect the midpoints.
Rhombus
Create the midsegments for the rhombus below.
Create the midpoints of each side, then connect the midpoints.
Kite
