The midpoints of the sides of the kite | Use the Midpoint Formula to find the coordinates of the vertices of the inner quadrilateral. Draw a diagram to see it. Then classify the figure. |
Step 1 Find the midpoint of each side of the kite.
Step 2 Draw a diagram of ABCD.
Step 3 Classify ABCD.
Since opposite sides are congruent, ABCD is a parallelogram.
Since
