Math Problem Statement
Solution
In the given parallelogram , you are asked to identify which segment bisects .
A key property of parallelograms is that the diagonals bisect each other. This means that if two diagonals intersect, each diagonal is split into two equal parts at the point of intersection.
In the diagram, and are the diagonals of parallelogram , and they intersect at point . Since diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, it follows that bisects at point .
Thus, the correct answer is:
