In the given figure, AD and CE are medians and DF // CE. Prove that : FB = .

By mid-point theorem, The line segment joining the mid-points of any two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and is equal to half of it. By converse of mid-point theorem, The straight line drawn through the mid-point of one side of a triangle parallel to another, bisects the third side. Since, AD and CE are medians. ∴ D is the mid-point of BC and E is the mid-point of AB. In △ BEC, DF || CE and D is the mid-point of BC. ∴ F is the mid-point of BE. (By converse of mid-point theorem) ∴ FB = .......(1) Since, E is the mid-point of AB. ∴ BE = .......(2) Substituting value of BE from equation (2) in (1), we get : ∴ FB = . Hence, proved that FB = .
