Expert Answer
ABC is a triangle;
D is the mid point of AB.
To prove that E is the mid point of AC.
Let F be the mid point of the side AC and not the point E.
Join DF
In ABC, D is the mid point of AB and DE BC
F is the mid point of AC,
by mid point theorem,
DF BC, also DE BC
Thus two intersecting lines DE and DF are parallel to the same line BC
This is not possible.
So F can not be the mid point of AC.
Hence, E is the mid point of AC.
