Question
If a point 'C' lies between two points A and B such that AC = BC, then prove that AC = $\frac{1}{2}$AB. Explain by drawing the figure.
✓
Answer
Given, AC = BC
AC + AC = BC + AC . . . . [AC are added to both the side]
2AC = AB . . . . [BC + AC coincides with AB]
$\therefore$ AC = $\frac{1}{2}$AB
