Mid point Theorem : The line segment connecting the midpoints of  two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and is congruent to one half of the third side.

 ABC is a triangle P is the midpoint at AB and Q is the midpoint at AC 

Given that: AP=PB, AQ=QC.

To prove: PQ || BC and PQ=1/2 BC

Plan: To prove ▲ APQ ≅ ▲ QRC

Proof steps: AQ=QC [midpoint] ∠ APQ = ∠QRC [Corresponding angles for parallel lines cut by an transversal].

∠PBR=∠QRC=∠APQ [Corresponding angles for parallel lines cut by an transversal].

∠RQC=∠PAQ [When 2 pairs of corresponding angles are congruent in a triangle, the third pair is also congruent.]

Therefore , ▲APQ ≅ ▲QRC

so AP=QR=PB and PQ=BR=RC.
