Solution
if the midpoints of any sides of a triangle are joined by a line segment, then this line segment will be parallel to the remaining side and will measure half of the remaining side.
Let us consider ABC is a triangle as shown in the following figure:
Let D and E be the midpoints of AB and AC. Then line DE is parallel to BC and DE is half of BC; i.e.
DE 
BC
DE =
