उत्तर
Given, AB = BC ...(i)
M is the mid-point of AB.
∴ AM = MB = `1/2` AB ...(ii)
And N is the mid-point of BC.
∴ BN = NC = `1/2` BC ...(iii)
According to Euclid’s axiom, things which are halves of the same things are equal to one another.
From equation (i), AB = BC
On multiplying both sides by `1/2`, we get
`1/2` AB = `1/2` BC
⇒ AM = NC ...[Using equations (ii) and (iii)]
