Answer:acc to mid pt thm (converse) the line drawn through the midpoint of one side of a triangle which is parallel to another side will bisect the third side and is half of it.
in ΔABC
AM=BM AND MN║BC
SO AN=CN
AC = 5CM
AN+CN=5CM
2(AN)=5CM (AN=CN)
AN= 2.5CM
BC= 2(MN) (MD-PT THM)
7CM= 2(MN)
7/2 CM=MN
3.5 CM = MN
