Step-by-step explanation:
Given: ∆ABC is an equilateral triangle. Points F, D and E are midpoints of side AB, side BC, side AC respectively. To prove: ∆FED is an equilateral triangle. Proof: ∆ABC is an equilateral triangle. [Given] ∴ AB = BC = AC ….(i) [Sides of an equilateral triangle] Points F, D and E are midpoints of side AB and BC respectively. ∴ FD = (1/2)AC …..(ii) [Midpoint theorem] Points D and E are the midpoints of sides BC and AC respectively. ∴ DE = (1/2)AB …..(iii) [Midpoint theorem] Points F and E are the midpoints of sides AB and AC respectively. ∴ FE = (1/2) BC ∴ FD = DE = FE [From (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) ] ∴ ∆FED is an equilateral triangle.
