Given : In ∆PQR, PQ = QR
L, M and N are the mid-points of sides PQ, QR and RP respectively. Join LM, MN and LN
To prove : ∠PNM = ∠PLM
Proof : In ∆PQR,
∵ M and N are the mid points of sides PR and QR respectively
∴ MN || PQ and MN = 
PQ …(i) ∴ MN = PL
Similarly, we can prove that
LM = PN
Now in ∆NML and ∆LPN
MN = PL (Proved)
LM = PN (Proved)
LN = LN (Common)
∴ ∆NML = ∆LPN (SSS axiom)
∴ ∠MNL = ∠PLN (c.p.c.t.)
and ∠MLN = ∠LNP (c.p.c.t.)
⇒ ∠MNL = ∠LNP = ∠PLM = ∠MLN
⇒ ∠PNM = ∠PLM
