Question

Given; D is the Midpoint of CE / Prove DE =1/2CE

Answer 1

Answer:

Check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to make a prove;

Mathematically , since D is the midpoint of CE

Then;

CE = CD + DE

Also, since D splits the line segment into two equal parts as the midpoint, then CD must be equal to DE

I.e CD = DE

Hence, we can express CE as follows;

CE = DE + DE

CE = 2 DE

Divide both sides by 2

CE/2 = DE

Hence; DE = 1/2 CE
