D, E and F are respectively the mid-points of the sides AB, BC and CA of a triangle ABC. -Maths 9th

1 Answer

Answer :

Since the segment joining the mid points of any two sides of a triangle is half the third side and parallel to it. DE = 1 / 2 AC ⇒ DE = AF = CF  EF = 1 / 2 AB  ⇒ EF = AD = BD DF =   1 / 2 BC ⇒ DF = BE = CE  In △DEF and △CFE , we have  DE = CF [from (i)] DF = CE [from (ii)] EF = FE [common]  ⇒ △DEF ≅ △CFE [by SSS criterion of congruence ] Similarly, we have △DEF ≅  △BDE and △DEF ≅ △AFD  Thus,  △DEF ≅  △CFE ≅ △BDE  ≅ △AFD   Hence,  △ABC is divided into four congruent triangles.
