Eg with question
prove that the line joining the mid points of two is parallel to the third side and equal to half the length of the third side
Draw a triangle & extend DE to F so that DE=EF and join FC
prove BCFD is a parallelogram
in triangle EAD and triangle ECF
E1 = E2 ( vert. opp.angle s)
AE=CE(given)
DE=EF(by construction)
therefor triangle EAD=triangle ECF(SAS)
