Theorem
Every segment has exactly one midpoint.
Statement Reason
1. AB + BC = AC and AB = BC Given, B is midpoint.
Given: B is the midpoint of segment AC. Prove B is unique. Assume that D is also a midpoint of segment AC. Arrive at a contradiction.
2. AB = ½ AC Arithmetic
3. AD + DC = AC and AD = DC Assumed, D is midpoint
4. AD = ½ AC Arithmetic
→← of the ruler postulate. Hence there is only one midpoint.
