Varignon’s Theorem (Surprising Geometry Theorem)

“Take any quadrilateral. It doesn’t have to be any special kind of a quadrilateral. Then connect the midpoints of its sides.

Surprisingly, you will always get a parallelogram!”

Quite a nice result. Some googling revealed that the name of this theorem is called Varignon’s Theorem.

An illustration is found here:
