1) In the adjoining figure, AABC is an equilateral triangle. Points F, D and E are
midpoints of side AB, side BC, side AC respectively. Show that ∆FED is an
equilateral triangle.

Answer:
but we nedd the pic of the triangle otherwise how will we know?
Step-by-step explanation:
Given ∆ABC is an equilateral triangle and D , E ans F are mid-points of BC , AC and AB respectively.
TO PROVE : ∆FED is an equilateral triangle.
Proof :
Since D and E are mid-points of BC and AC respectively.
DE = 1 / 2 AB ………...(i)
[By mid point theorem ,the line segment joining the mid-points of two sides of a triangle is half of the third side. ]
Similarly ,E and F are the mid - points of AC and AB respectively .
∴ EF = 1 / 2 BC ……….(ii)
F and D are the mid - points of AB and BC respectively .
∴ FD = 1 / 2 AC ………...(iii)
Now, △ABC is an equilateral triangle .
AB = BC = CA
1/2 AB = 1/ 2 BC = 1/ 2 CA
DE = EF = FD
[From eq (i) , (ii) , (iii) ]
Hence, ∆FED is an equilateral triangle .
