Parallelogram verification — criterion?
Opposite sides' vectors are equal.
Vectors of ABCD — derived from?
Coordinates of points A, B, C, D.
Proving ABCD is parallelogram — key step?
Show $ ext{vector } AB = ext{vector } DC$.
Point P — coordinates found how?
Using vector equality and coordinate addition.
Property of BEPC — key relation?
$ ext{vector } BE = ext{vector } CP$.
Midpoint I — formula?
Average of B and P coordinates.
Vector components — calculation?
Subtract starting point from ending point coordinates.
Opposite sides — parallelogram?
Equal and parallel vectors.
Coordinate vectors — notation?
Column vectors, e.g., $egin{bmatrix} x \ y \\ ext{endpoints} \\ ext{minus startpoints} \\ ext{components} \\ ext{used for comparison} \\ ext{in proofs} \\ ext{etc.}$
Midpoint — significance?
Confirms geometric properties like bisectors or side relations.
