GIVEN:

BSM with midpoints E and Y of BS

and BM

PROVE: EY

Proof:

SM and EY = SM

BSM with midpoints E and Y. Extend EY to point A such that EY = YA.

Since Y is the midpoint of BM, we know that the diagonals of quadrilateral BEMA bisect each other. It
tells us that quadrilateral must be a parallelogram. The properties of a parallelogram tells us that
BES

MA and BE = MA. But BE = ES since E is the midpoint of BS. Therefore, ES = MA and

ES

MA. That makes SMEA a parallelogram. Now by definition, EYA

SM. Also EA = SM. Since,

Since Y is the midpoint of EA, we know that EY= EA, and by substitution EY = SM.
