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.
1 answer
In a parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other. This means that the point where the diagonals intersect, point E in this case, divides each diagonal into two segments of equal length.
Since BE measures 11 units, segment DE will also measure 11 units because E is the midpoint of diagonal BD.
Therefore, the length of segment DE is 11 units.
