B is the midpoint of AC( LIne segment) and E is the midpoint of BD( LIne segment). If A(-9, -4), C(-1,6) and E(-4,-3), find the cooridinate of D. I got really lost on that

what did you get for the coordinates of point B ?
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
