6(ab - ac + b2 - bc)
there will be three vertex AB, BC, AC
Let ABC be a triangle. Let D and E be the mid points of AB and AC respectively. Then the mid-line theorem states that DEBC and DE = BC/2.Extend DE beyond E to F such that DE = EF. Since AE = CE, triangles ADE and CEF are equal, making CFAB (or CFBD, which is the same) because, for the transversal AC, the alternating angles DAE and ECF are equal. Also,CF = AD = BD, such that BDFC is a parallelogram. It follows that BC = DF = 2·DE which is what we set out to prove.Conversely, let D be on AB, E on AC, DEBC and DE = BC/2. Prove that AD = DB and AE = CE.This is because the condition DEBC makes triangles ADE and ABC similar, with implied proportion,AB/AD = AC/AE = BC/DE = 2.It thus follows that AB is twice as long as AD so that D is the midpoint of AB; similarly, E is the midpoint of AC.
