Y, B, M, and N form a parallelogram because Y is the midpoint of AB, B is the endpoint of AB, M is the midpoint of BX, and N is the midpoint of AX. MR is equal to half of BC because M is the midpoint of BX and R is on BC. The document also provides information about similarity of polygons and the properties they must satisfy to be considered similar.

In other words, one polygon is an enlargement of the other. Congruent polygons are also similar since they are the same shape and the same size, only their position or orientation is different. Two polygons with the same number of sides are similar when: 1. All pairs of corresponding angles are equal, and 2. All pairs of corresponding sides are in the same proportion. 334 8.5. Similarity
