Show that theline segments joining the mid-points of opposite sides of aquadrilateral bisects each other.

Answer» 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`
Then, midpoint of `HF = (veca+vecb+vecc+vecd)/4`
Midpoint of `EG = (veca+vecb+vecc+vecd)/4`
As midpoints of opposite sides of the quadrilateral are same, it means they are bisecting each other.
