Two things you need to know about this proof: A "midsegment" of a triangle is a segment that connects the midpoints of two sides of a triangle. A midsegment of a triangle is parallel to the third side and is half the length of the third side.∥ΔΔߛ ߜθθθθθσΔΔΔ⌀⎣ ⎦ ᑎ≤≥≦≧≅∠Δ Here's an outline for the proof, you'll have to write a two-column proof yourself. Two segments marked the same above are given equal by definition of median and midpoint. MI is a midsegment of ΔRDT, so and RD ∥ MI and so OD ∥ MI, and since AO = OM, AD = DI. So we now know that OD is a midline of ΔMAI. So these three segments DA, DI, and IT are all equal: DA = DI = IT, So it's immediate that . Since we now know that OD is a midline of ΔMAI, OD is half of MI, and MI is half of RD, so , because half of a half is a fourth. Now go write up the two-column proof. If you have any questions about the above, ask them in the thank-you note and I'll get back to you. BTW I don't charge any money, I'm a retired prof and just do this for fun. Edwin
