Problem
In triangle points and are the midpoints of and respectively. Inside this triangle point is chosen in such a way that . Prove that .

Solution
It is easy to see that , since as the centerline of the triangle (fig.14).
We know that , and so . and are the midpoints of the respective sides in similar triangles, thus .
Now since , we have , and we are done.
