Question

C is the mid point of AB and D is the mid point of AC Prove
that
AD=1/4 AB

Ayush Jha · Accepted Answer

We have a line segment AB such that C is the mid-point of AB and D is the midpoint of AC.

So we have,

$A C = \frac{1}{2} A B ........... (1) A D = \frac{1}{2} A C ............. (2)$

Using equation 1 in 2 we get,

$A D = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2} A B) = \frac{1}{4} A B$

Hence proved.

C is the mid point of AB and D is the mid point of AC. Prove that AD=1/4 AB
