a, Xét ΔABC ,có:
\(\dfrac{BM}{MA}=\dfrac{3MA}{MA}=3;\dfrac{CN}{NA}=\dfrac{3NA}{NA}=3\)
\(\Rightarrow\dfrac{BM}{MA}=\dfrac{CN}{NA}\)
\(\Rightarrow\) MN // BC (định lý Talet đảo )
b, Vì MN // BC
\(\Rightarrow\dfrac{MN}{BC}=\dfrac{AM}{AB}\)\(\Rightarrow\dfrac{MN}{12}=\dfrac{AM}{AM+MB}=\dfrac{AM}{AM+3AM}=\dfrac{1}{4}\)
\(\Rightarrow MN=\dfrac{12.1}{4}=3\left(cm\right)\)
