उत्तर

Given: ∆ABC is an equilateral triangle and D, E and F are mid-points of BC, AC and AB respectively.

To prove: ∆FED is an equilateral triangle.

Proof:

In ΔABC,

Points F and E are the midpoints of sides AB and AC respectively.      ...(Given)

∴ FE = `1/2` BC       ...(From midpoint theorem) ...(i)

In ΔABC,

Points D and E are the midpoints of sides BC and AC respectively.     ...(Given)

∴ DE = `1/2` AB      ...(From midpoint theorem)   ...(ii)

In ΔABC,

Points D and F are the midpoints of sides BC and AB respectively.     ...(Given)

∴ DF = `1/2` AC       ...(From midpoint theorem) ...(iii)

Now, ΔABC is an equilateral triangle.

∴ BC = AB = AC      ...(Sides of equilateral triangle)

∴ `1/2` BC = `1/2` AB = `1/2` AC     ...(Multiplying both sides by `1 /2`)

∴ FE = DE = DF       ...[From (i), (ii) and (iii)]

∴ ΔFED is an equilateral triangle.
