Question

state and prove Mid-point theorem​

Answer 1

Answer:

The midpoint theorem states that “The line segment in a triangle joining the midpoint of two sides of the triangle is said to be parallel to its third side and is also half of the length of the third side.”

Answer 2

Answer:

Construction-  Extend the line segment DE and produce it to F such that, EF = DE.

In triangle ADE and CFE,

EC = AE —–   (given)

∠CEF = ∠AED (vertically opposite angles)

EF = DE (by construction)

By SAS congruence criterion,

△ CFE ≅  △ ADE

Therefore,

∠CFE = ∠ADE {by c.p.c.t.}

∠FCE= ∠DAE    {by c.p.c.t.}

and CF = AD {by c.p.c.t.}

∠CFE and ∠ADE are the alternate interior angles.

Assume CF and AB as two lines which are intersected by the transversal DF.

In a similar way, ∠FCE and ∠DAE are the alternate interior angles.

Assume CF and AB are the two lines which are intersected by the transversal AC.

Therefore, CF ∥ AB

So, CF ∥ BD

and CF = BD  {since BD = AD, it is proved that CF = AD}

Thus, BDFC forms a parallelogram.

By the properties of a parallelogram, we can write

BC ∥ DF

and BC = DF

BC ∥ DE

and DE = (1/2 *  BC).

Hence, the midpoint theorem is  proved.

MidPoint Theorem Formula

In Coordinate Geometry, midpoint theorem refers to the midpoint of the line segment. It defines the coordinate points of the midpoint of the line segment can be found by taking the average of the coordinates of the given endpoints. The midpoint formula is used to determine the midpoint between the two given points.

If P1(x1, y1) and P2(x2, y2) are the coordinates of two given endpoints, then the midpoint formula is given as:

Midpoint = [(x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2]
