Answer: 8 in
M is the center created by diagonal lines leading though the parallelogram, taking this into account the correct answer is half of XZ.
16/2 = 8
Answer:
Using the charasteristics of a parallelogram, the length of line segment MX is 8 in (Third option).
Step-by-step explanation:
In parallelogram WXYZ:
WY=12 in., this is a diagonal in the parallelogram
XZ=16 in., this is the other diagonal in the parallelogram
WX=10 in., this is one of the sides of the parallelogram
XY=9 in., this is the other side of the parallelogram
MX=? this segment is between the vertex X and the point of intersection of the diagonals
In a parallelogram the diagonals intersect (point M) dividing them in equal parts each other, then:
MX=MZ=XZ/2
MX=MZ=(16 in.)/2
MX=MZ=8 in.
