I dont get how the line passing through L is parallel to MN.
Any explanation?
There is a theorem whos name is (literally translated) "mid parallel in triangles theorem ":

"The connection between 2 midpoints of 2 sides in a triangle is parallel to the third side and has half the length of the third side."

I've used this theorem.
