I need a hint kinda stuck, thinking about dot products?

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

u can find the coordinates of the middle points (vectors) using the formula u must know from analytic geometry. then define the lines that join opposite middle points. and intersect them, i.e. you'll have a linear system solve it and prove it is the middle point of the segments that join opposite sides of the cuadrilateral.
