Answer 1

When the midpoints of a quadrilateral are joined in order, the figure formed is a parallelogram.

Explanation:

• Varignon’s Theorem states that when the midpoints of any quadrilateral are joined in order, the resulting figure is always a parallelogram.
• The shape of the quadrilateral itself (whether it’s a rectangle, kite or any other quadrilateral) does not affect the fact that the midpoints will form a parallelogram.
