14. Prove that the medians of an equilateral triangle are equal.


Given: ABC is an equilateral triangle whose medians are AD, BE and CF.
To Prove: AD = BE = CF


Given: ABC is an equilateral triangle whose medians are AD, BE and CF

Proof: In ∆ADC and ∆BEC,

                AC = BC

                      left enclose table row cell space because increment ABC space is space equilateral end cell row cell therefore space AB equals BC equals CA end cell end table end enclose

                angle ACD equals angle BCE

                     left enclose table row cell because increment ABC space is space equilateral end cell row cell therefore angle ABC equals angle BCA end cell row cell equals angle CAB equals 60 degree end cell end table end enclose

space space space space
           
              DE = EC

                  left enclose table row cell because space AD thin space is space straight a space median end cell row cell therefore space DC equals DB equals 1 half BC end cell row cell because space BE space is space straight a space median end cell row cell because space EA space equals space EC equals 1 half AC end cell row cell because space AC equals BC end cell row cell therefore space DC equals EC end cell end table end enclose

therefore space space space space increment ADC equals increment BEC
space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space
                         | SAS congruence rule

therefore           increment AD equals BE              ....(1) | CPCT  

Similarly, we can prove that
BE = CF    ...(2)
and    CF = AD    ...(3)
From (1), (2) and (3)
AD = BE = CF
