Answer:
the mid point theorem states that the line segment in a triangle joining the midpoints of two sides of the triangle is said to be parallel to its third side and is also half of third side
Now prove :
refer to the diagram...
let E and D be the midpoints of sides AC and AB
then the line DE is said to be parallel to the third side BC whereas the side DE is half of the side BC I. e
DE parallel to BC
DE = 1 / 2 * BC
Construction = Extend the line segment DE and produce it to F such that EF = DE
In triangle ADE and CFE
EC = AE ( given)
angle CEF = angle AED ( given)
EF = DE ( construction)
By SAS congruence criterion
angleCFE congruence to angle ADE
therefore ,
angleCFE = angleADE ( by cpct)
angleFCE = angleDAE ( by cpct)
and CF = AD ( by cpct)
angleCFE and angleADE are alternative interior angles
Assume CF and AB as two lines which are interesected by the transversal DE
In a similar way angleFCE and angleDAE are alternative interior angles
Assume CF and AB are the two lines which are interesected by the transversal AC
therefore,
CF parallel to AB
so , CF parallel to BD
And CF = BD ( since BD = AD, it is proved that CF = AD)
Thus, BDFC forms a parallelogram.
By properties of parallelogram
we can write,
BC parallel to DF
And BC = DF
BC parallel to DE
And DE = 1/2BC
Hence midpoint theorem proved .
