Question

In parallelogram KLMN, diagonal LM = 28 in. and diagonal LN = 26 in. The diagonals intersect in point O. What is the measure of segment LO

Answer 1

The measure of segment LO is 13 inches because I notice that diagonal LN is equal to 26 inches; so, I have to divided by two to find the measurement of segment LO.

$\bar{L}\bar{O} = \bar{L}\bar{N} \div 2$
$\bar{L}\bar{O} = 26 \div 2$
$\bar{L}\bar{O} = 13$
