We need to prove that every line segment has one and only one mid-point. Let us consider the given below line segment AB and assume that C and D are the mid-points of the line segment AB

If C is the mid-point of line segment AB, then
AC = CB.
An axiom of the Euclid says that “If equals are added to equals, the wholes are equal.”
AC + AC = CB + AC....(i)
From the figure, we can conclude that CB + AC will coincide with AB.
An axiom of the Euclid says that “Things which coincide with one another are equal to one another.” AC + AC = AB....(ii)
An axiom of the Euclid says that “Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to one another.”
Let us compare equations (i) and (ii), to get
AC + AC = AB, or 2AC = AB.(iii)
If D is the mid-point of line segment AB, then
AD = DB.
An axiom of the Euclid says that “If equals are added to equals, the wholes are equal.”
AD + AD = DB + AD....(iv)
From the figure, we can conclude that DB + AD will coincide with AB.
An axiom of the Euclid says that “Things which coincide with one another are equal to one another.”
AD + AD = AB....(v)
An axiom of the Euclid says that “Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to one another.”
Let us compare equations (iv) and (v), to get
AD + AD = AB, or
2AD = AB....(vi)
An axiom of the Euclid says that “Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to one another.” Let us compare equations (iii) and (vi), to get
2AC = 2AD.
An axiom of the Euclid says that “Things which are halves of the same things are equal to one another.” AC = AD.
Therefore, we can conclude that the assumption that we made previously is false and a line segment has one and only one mid-point.
