Here's a demo version of an embedded picture from a PowerPoint slide. I made the lines thick to see them better. Use a large font size for your text.



Here is an example of an embedded picture of my dogs. They have nothing to do with the project, but just happened to be on my hard drive and I think they're cute.



Here is how I calculated the midpoints of sides AB and BC. I found the average X-value and average y-value for points A and B:

(1 + -2)/2 = -0.5 and (-5 + 6)/2 = 0.5 So the coordinates for point D are (-0.5, 0.5). A Geometer's Sketchpad picture that verifies this is shown below. I did the same thing to find the coordinates for point E: (-2 + 8)/2=3 and (6 + 5)/2 = 5.5.

The one on the right may look innocent, but he's really a bloodthirsty killer. Wiped out three rabbits this week!



Here is an example of using a screen capture technique, pasted into a Powerpoint slide, then saved as a JPEG file. Note the problem with losing some of the image.



One problem with using a screen capture is that it winds up getting cropped in the process. You lose some of what was on the original Word document.
