Use the image to answer the question.

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.

Answer 1

In a parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other. This means that each diagonal is divided into two equal segments at the point of intersection.

Given that segment BE measures 11 units, segment DE will also measure the same length, following the property that the diagonals bisect each other.

Therefore, segment DE measures 11 units in length.
