In the given triangle p,Q and R are the midpoints of sides AB, BC and AC respectively. Prove that triangle PQR is similar to triangle ABC.

Dear Student,

Since P, Q, R are mid-points of AB, BC, AC by mid-point theorem :
PR = 12BC    PRBC = 12  ................. (1) 
PQ = 12AC   PQAC = 12   ................. (2)
QR = 12AB   QRAB = 12   .................. (3)
Now, In triangle PQR and triangle CAB
PRBCPQACQRAB              (From (1) , (2) and (3) )
Therefore, the two triangle are similar SSS test
