    Let me see.

    To show the prove, I must find the distance or midpoint from (0, 0) to (a + b, c) and (b, c) to the point (a, 0). Yes?

    "To show the prove"- you are not showing prove

    you are proving or demonstrating that the diagonals intersecting at their midpoints

    The work that must be done here is the actual proof.
    Must I find the distance or midpoint from (0, 0) to (a + b, c) and (b, c) to the point (a, 0)?

    Let big M = midpoint from (b, c) to (a, 0).

    M = [(b + a)/2, (c + 0)/2]

    M = [(a + b)/2, (c/2)]

    Let little m = midpoint from (0, 0) to (a + b, c).

    m = [(0 + a + b)/2, (0 + c)/2]

    m = [(a + b)/2, (c/2)]

    Correct?
