Given: The coordinates of rhombus WXYZ are W(0, 4b), X(2a, 0), Y(0, −4b), and Z(−2a, 0).

Prove: The segments joining the midpoints of a rhombus form a rectangle.

As part of the proof, find the midpoint of WZ

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

In this question coordinates of rhombus WXYZ are given as W(0, 4b), X(2a, 0), Y(0, −4b), and Z(−2a, 0).

Now we have to find the coordinates of midpoint of WZ as part of the proof.

Since mid point of two points (x, y) and (x', y') is represented by


((x+x')/(2)
(y+y')/(2))

For midpoint of WZ,


((0-2a)/(2)
(4b+0)/(2))

= (-a, 2b)

Option C will be the answer.
