Answer:

Mid-Point Theorem :-

The line segment joining the mid-points of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and equal to half of the third side.

THE LINE SEGMENT JOINING THE MID POINTS OF ANY TWO SIDES OF AN TRIANGLE IS PARALLEL TO THE THIRD SIDE AND EQUAL OF HALF OF IT

GIVEN
In ABC,E and F are the mid points of AB and AC.
TO PROVE
EF || BC and EF = 1/2
CONSTRUCTION
Through vertex C, draw CD || BA and let it meets extended EF at D.
PROOF
In AEF and CDF
angle AEF = angle CFD ( Vertically opposite angle )
AF = FC ( F is the mid-point of AC )
angle EAF = angle FCD ( Alternative interior angle )
By ASA,
AEF is congruent toCDF
Thus,
AE = CD and EF = FD ( by C.P.C.T. )-------( 1 )
also,
AE = BE ( E is the mid-point of AB )----------(2)
From equation ( 1 ) and (2),
AE = BE = CD
and
BE || CD ( by construction )
so,
BCDE is a ||gm [ because one pair of opposite sides is parallel and equal ]
then,
ED || BC
or,
EF || BC
and ED = BC
now,
=> BC = ED = EF + FD
= EF + EF [ from equation ( 1 ) EF = FD ]
=> EF = 1/2 BC

PROVED
hope it helps uh
