Solution

The midpoint of the diagonals AC and the diagonal BD coincide

S e c t i o n space f o r m u l a space i n t e r n a l l y space equals fraction numerator L x subscript 2 plus m x subscript 1 over denominator L plus m end fraction comma fraction numerator L y subscript 2 plus m y subscript 1 over denominator L plus m end fraction

L = 1 m = 1

The midpoint of the diagonals AC. The midpoint of diagonal is in the ration 1:1

equals fraction numerator space 2 space plus space 1 space over denominator 2 end fraction comma space fraction numerator 7 space plus space 0 over denominator 2 end fraction equals 3 over 2 comma 7 over 2

The midpoint of the diagonals BD. The midpoint of diagonal is in the ration 1:1


equals space fraction numerator left parenthesis negative 2 space plus space 5 right parenthesis space over denominator 2 end fraction comma space fraction numerator left parenthesis 4 space plus space 3 right parenthesis over denominator 2 end fraction space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space equals space space 3 over 2 space comma space 7 over 2 space space space space minus negative negative negative negative negative negative space left parenthesis 2 right parenthesis

Two diagonals are intersecting at the same point. So the given vertex forms a parallelogram.
