̅̅̅̅ is a median, 𝐵𝐶 = 𝐶𝐸, and 𝑚∠𝐺𝐶𝐸 = 30°. If 𝐴𝐷 = 6, what is 𝐾𝑀?


3. (5 Points) In the figure, 𝐴𝐷

4. (5 Points) Prove the following.

1
Restatement: Given a trapezoid 𝐴𝐵𝐶𝐷 with median ̅̅̅̅𝐸𝐹 . Then 𝐸𝐹 = 2 (𝐴𝐵 + 𝐶𝐷).
4.1. If 𝐴𝐵 = 12 and 𝐷𝐶 = 7, what is 𝐸𝐹?
4.2. If 𝐷𝐶 = 6 and 𝐸𝐹 = 14, what is 𝐴𝐵?
5. (5 Points) 𝑃𝑄𝑅𝑆 is a square. 𝐽, 𝐾, 𝐿, 𝑀 separate the sides into segments, as in the figure, of
lengths 𝑎 and 𝑏. Prove that 𝐽𝐾𝐿𝑀 is a square.

6. (10 Points) Prove that in a parallelogram, the two segments joining a pair of opposite vertices to
the midpoints of a pair of opposite sides trisect a diagonal.
Restatement:
Given: 𝐴𝐵𝐶𝐷 is a parallelogram. 𝑃 and 𝑄 are midpoints.
Prove: 𝐴𝑅 = 𝑅𝑆 = 𝑆𝐶.
