In Fig. 5.30, AM and DN are the medians. Then find the value of DF.

first prove triangles ABC and DEF by SSS rule of 
AB=DE
BM=EN
AM=DN
and then prove AC= DF (which means if AC = 6 cm then DF is also 6 cm.

There are many ways to prove that the 2 triangls are equal.

​​We know that median that it bisects a line into 2 equal halves.
BM = MC ____1
​EN =  NF ____2
BM = EN ____3
​from 1, 2 and 3
MC = NF

​Prove the congreunecy of triangles ABM and DEN by SSS congreuency.
​from these 2 congruent triangles we have proved now,
​take angle A & D and B & E
​angle AMC = DNF (the exterior angle is equal to both interior and opposite angles) (adding equals to equals the sums are equals A + B = D + E)
​by SAS congreuency prove triangles AMC and DNF are congruent
AM = DN
M = N
​MC = NF
so by cpct
​AC = DF
​AC = 6 cm
​So DF = 6 cm (proved)

 
  • 5
DF=6cm

Reason:

In triangles ABM and DEN,
AB = DE
BM = EN
AM = DN
​Therefore, ABC congruent DEF
  • -1
In the given figure am and dn are medns find the value of df
  • -1
