Given :-
- AM is the median of ΔABC .
- N is the midpoint of AM.
To Prove :-
- AP = (1/3)•AC
Construction :-
- Through M draw MG which is parallel to BP.
Solution :-
in ΔAMG we have ,
→ N is the midpoint of AM and NP is parallel to MG.
So,
P is midpoint of AG. { By converse of midpoint theorem .}
→ AP = PG -------------- Eqn.(1)
Similarly,
in ΔBCP we have,
→ M is the midpoint of BC and MG is parallel to BP.
So,
→ G is midpoint of CP.
→ PG = GC -------------- Eqn.(2)
From Both Equations , we get,
→ AP = PG = GC
Now,
→ AP + PG + GC = AC
→ AP + AP + AP = AC
→ 3AP = AC
→ AP = (1/3)•AC . (Proved.)
