If you prefer, the $P_2P_6$ and $P_4P_5$ diagonals bisect each other, so $\frac{x_2 + x_6}{2} = \frac{x_4 + x_5}{2}$. I hope that clarifies it for you. If you'd like to discuss further then this needs to move to math.stackexchange.com, and we can continue there. Math Overflow is a site for professional mathematicians to discuss their research. | |
