Answer:

AD = 1/4AC

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

D is the the midpoint of AB

Therefore

AB = AD + DB

Since, D is the midpoint of the AB, therefore AD = DB

AB = AD + AD

AB = 2AD (i)

Similarly, B is the midpoint of AC

Hence,

AC = AB + BC

AC = AB + AB (because B is the midpoint)

AC = 2AB (ii)

By putting the value of AB from equation i to equation ii, we get

AC = 2(2AD)

AC = 4AD

AC/4 = AD

AD = 1/4AC
