Determine whether the statement is always, sometimes, or never true. Explain your reasoning.
In parallelogram M NPQ. the diagonals MP and NQ meet at R with MP - 2RP.
(1 point)
O Sometimes. M Rand R.P may or may not be congruent.
O Always. Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
O Never. Diagonals of a parallelogram do not bisect each other.
O Never. The relationship between M P and RP should be MP = 3RP.
The correct answer is:
O Sometimes. M and R.P may or may not be congruent.
The statement is sometimes true because the given condition, MP = 2RP, does not imply that M and R.P are congruent. If M and R.P are congruent, then the statement would be always true, but it is not necessarily the case. Therefore, the answer is sometimes true.
