Geometry help please? I suck with proofs. >.<
Theorem: The segment joining the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half its length.
I Segment DE is parallel to segment AC. Slopes of parallel lines are equal. II The coordinates of point D are (4, 5) and coordinates of point E are (5, 3) By the midpoint formula III Slope of segment DE is -2 and slope of segment AC is -2. By the slope formula IV Length of segment DE is Square root of 5 and length of segment AC is 2 multiplied by the square root of 5 By the distance formula V Segment DE is half the length of segment AC. By substitution
These are out of order, the options of the correct order are
III, II, I, IV, V III, I, IV, V, II II, I, III, V, IV II, III, I, IV, V
I really suck at proofs. :/ Please help.
@amistre64 or somebody, please help :/
