anonymous · Answer

in a parallelogram, diagonals bisect each other. you should know this, to solve this. give it a try from here.

anonymous · Answer

9.5 is the answer

anonymous · Answer

hahaha.. ive tried for 20 minutes.. i kept getting 10. Which turns out to be the wrong answer.

anonymous · Answer

Yea all rhombus and parallelograms are congruent thus if one side is 9.5 the other is 9.5

anonymous · Answer

so its the same as the opposite number?? wow.. i completely missed that. Thanks.
