Question 1102196: heorem 5. the segment that joins the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is a parallel to the third side and a half as long.
given: triangle HNS,O is the midpoint of line segment HN,E is the midpoint of line segment NS
prove:line segment OE parallel to line segment HS, OE= one and a half HS
thank you in advance
