Chapter 11 Icse Midpoint Theorem

The document discusses the midpoint theorem and its proof. The theorem states that the line segment joining the midpoints of any two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and equal to half its length. It provides a diagram and proof of the theorem. It also discusses the equal intercept theorem and uses it to prove the converse of the midpoint theorem. Finally, it lists several geometry problems involving midpoints and medians of triangles.

MIDPOINT THEOREM
Midpoint theorem
Statement:
The line segment joining the midpoints of any two sides of a triangle is
parallel to the third side
and is equal to half of it

Proof:
What do we know? What should we prove? How do we prove?
AE = BE EF || BC
AF = CF EF = ½ BC
Proof of Midpoint theorem
Equal intercept theorem
If a transversal makes equal intercepts on three or more parallel lines then any other transversal
cutting them will also make equal intercepts.
Given: Let there be three straight lines L1, L2, and L3 such that L1 ∥ L2 ∥ L3.
Transversal AB makes equal intercepts on L1, L2 and L3, I.e., PQ = QR. Another transversal CD makes
intercepts KM and MN.
To Prove: KM = MN.
Construction: Join PN which cuts the L2 at O.
Proof:
Statement Reason
1. PQ = QR and QO ∥ line L3. 1. Given.

2. O is the midpoint of PN, i.e., PO = ON. 2. By converse of Midpoint Theorem.

3. PO = ON and OM ∥ L1. 3. By statement 2 and given.

4. M is the midpoint of NK, i.e., KM = MN 4. By converse of Midpoint Theorem.
