Midpoint Theorem


   
 
The Intercept Theorem
If a transversal makes equal intercepts on three or more parallel lines, then any other line cutting them will also make equal intercepts.
 
 
 
AP || BQ || CR. The intercepts AB and BC are equal. PQ, QR are the intercepts on any other line.
 
 
PQ = QR
 
 
Through A and B draw AE and BF parallel to PQR to cut BQ and CR at E and F respectively.
 
To prove that PQ = QR
 
 
 
 
If P, Q, R are the mid-points of the sides AB, BC, CA respectively of the triangle ABC, prove that
 
(i) area of = area of
 
(ii) area of (area of )
