Leroi is using coordinate geometry to prove this theorem.
Theorem: The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect one another.
Given: AD//BC; AB//CD; AC and BD intersect at M.
Prove: M bisects AC and BD.
Which of these is the BEST strategy for this proof?
A) Use the Midpoint Formula to find the coordinates of M, then use the Distance Formula to verify that AC= BD
B) Use the equations of line AC and line BD to find the coordinates of M, then use the Distance Formula to verify that AC= BD
C) Use the equations of line AC and line BD to find the coordinates of M, then use the midpoint Formula to verify that M is the midpoint of both AC and BD
D) Use the Distance Formula to find the coordinates of M, then use the Midpoint Formula to verify that M is the midpoint of both AC and BD
