A parallelogram has vertices upper A, upper B, upper C, and upper D. Opposite vertices are connected via diagonal lines that intersect at an interior point labeled upper E.

In parallelogram ABCD , if the length of segment BE is 11 units, what is the length of segment DE ?

(1 point)
Segment DE measures
units in length.

In a parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other. This means that when the diagonals AC and BD intersect at point E, each diagonal is divided into two equal segments.

Given that BE = 11 units, since E is the midpoint of diagonal BD, we can conclude that:

DE = BE = 11 units.

Therefore, the length of segment DE is also 11 units.
