Question:

If E and F are the midpoints of equal sides AB and AC of a triangle ABC. Then:

Options:

BF=AC

BF=AF

CE=AB

BF = CE

Correct Answer:

BF = CE

Explanation:

In In ΔEBC and ΔFCB,

∠EBC = ∠FCB (AB = AC)

EB = FC (E and F are the mid points of equal sides)

BC = BC (common side)

∴ ΔEBC ≅ ΔFCB (By SAS congruence condition)

Thus, we can say BF = CE
