Is there a proof without involving coordonates? Would be better if it would involve vectors and linear/affine combination of them.
Also what is the significance of the center of a triangle with coordonates a/3 + b/3 + c/3, where a,b,c are the coordonate points of the vertices of the triangle in the xOy cartesian system?
What about 4 points, a,b,c,d and the point defined as (a+b+c+d)/4, what does it mean?

I mean, what is the definition of "the center of a parallelogram"?

Why is it a definition
...what?

Like why is the center of a parallelogram the intersection of it's diagonals

...how is "the center of a parallelogram" defined?

Idk

Then how can you possibly prove anything about something that isn't defined?

Ok then
Why is the point of intersection of a parallelogram half way for both diagonals?

this one you can prove with similar triangles
