Can someone check my answer please :)

Place the following steps in a logical order to help prove that segment DE is half the length of segment AC

Theorem: The segment joining the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half its length.

the given is statement lll

mertsj · Answer

Typically , in a proof, you begin with what is given and go from there.

anonymous · Answer

In the question the proof is out of order so you have to put it in order

anonymous · Answer

Statement	Justification
I	Segment DE is half the length of segment AC.	By substitution
II	Segment DE is parallel to segment AC.	Slopes of parallel lines are equal.
III	The coordinates of point D are (4, 5) and coordinates of point E are (5, 3)	Given
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
