Homework Statement
P1(x1,y1), P2(x2,y2), P3(x3,y3), P4(x4,y4) are the vertices of a quadrilateral. Show that the quadrilateral formed by joining the midpoints of adjacent sides is a parallelogram.
Homework Equations
Midpoint: M = ((x0+x1)/2, (y0+y1)/2)
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm guessing I need to show that the line formed by the midpoints of say, P1P4 and P1P2, is parallel to the line formed by joining midpoints P2P3 and P3P4?
I've never proved anything in my life and I'm not sure where to start -_-;
