Hello mate!
Let a triangle be ABC,
with D and E midpoints of AB and AC respectively and just join D and E
The line segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and is congruent to one half of the third side. Let us observe the figure given above. We can see the ΔABC,
Point D and E are the midpoints of side AB and side AC respectively. Also, the segment DE connects the two sides at the midpoints, then DE || BC and DE is half the length of side BC.
If we know the length of BC then it is very convenient to find the length of DE as DE is half of BC. It also allows us to find the length of sides AE, EC, BD, and DA. Since DE is parallel to BC we know that the distance between these two line segment is equal.
Also, ∠ADE = ∠ABC
So, DE || BC
hope this helps you out!

Mid point theorem (MPT) states that if in a triangle, a line segment is made to join the mid point of one of the sides to the mid point of another side, then the line segment so obtained is parallel to the third side of the triangle.
The diagram in the attachment will make the above theorem clear. In the diagram, according to MPT, DE || BC
