 If O be the mid-point of the side MN of the triangle LMN, then 
LM2 + LN2 = 2(LO2 + MO2). 
Proof: Let us choose origin of rectangular Cartesian co-ordinates at O and x-axis along the side MN and OY as the y – axis . If MN = 2a then the co-ordinates of M and N are (- a, 0) and (a, 0) respectively. Referred to the chosen axes if the co-ordinates of L be (b, c) then
LO2 = (b - 0)2 + (C - 0)2 , [Since, co- ordinates of O are (0, 0)]
      = b2 + c2;
MO2 = (- a - 0)2 + (0 – 0)2 = a2
LMB2 = (b + a) 2 + (c – 0)2 = (a + b)2 + c2
And LN2 = (b - a) 2 + (c - 0) 2 = (a - b)2 + c2
Therefore, LM2 + LN2 = (a + b) 2 + c2 + (b - a)2 + c2 
                              = 2(a2 + b2) + 2c2
                              = 2a2 + 2(b2 + c2)
                              = 2MO2 + 2LO2 
                              = 2(MO2 + LO2).
                              = 2(LO2 + MO2). Proved.
