Given AD is the median of ΔABC and E is the midpoint of AD.
Through D, draw DG || BF.
In ΔADG, E is the midpoint of AD and EF || DG.
By converse of midpoint theorem, we have
F is midpoint of AG and AF = FG  ................. (1)
Similarly, in ΔBCF 
D is the midpoint of BC and DG || BF   
G is midpoint of CF and FG = GC .................(2)
From equations (1) and (2), we get
AF = FG = GC ...............................................(3)
From the figure we have, AF + FG + GC = AC
AF + AF + AF = AC        [from (3)]
3 AF = AC
Hence, AF= {tex}\frac { 1 } { 3 }{/tex}AC.
