Geometry help please!

OpenStudy (znappydooz):

Theorem: The segment joining the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half its length. A two column proof of the theorem is shown, but the statement and reasons are not in correct order.

OpenStudy (znappydooz):

Which is the most logical order of statements and reasons for the proof? I, III, II, V, IV III, II, I, V, IV I, IV, III, II, V III, I, II, IV, V

OpenStudy (znappydooz):

@Straybullet, @Directrix

Directrix (directrix):

I cannot be the first statement because it is one of the things you're wanting to prove.

OpenStudy (znappydooz):

Yes, thats what I was thinking :P

Directrix (directrix):

My best arrangement would be: 3, 2, 1, 5, 4 See if that makes sense.

OpenStudy (znappydooz):

Alright... ANybody else got a different opinion?

OpenStudy (znappydooz):
