Unit 8 Retest

Front

What is an angle bisector?

Back

An angle bisector is a line or segment that divides an angle into two equal parts.

Front

What is a median in a triangle?

Back

A median is a line segment that connects a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side.

Front

What is a midsegment in a triangle?

Back

A midsegment is a segment that connects the midpoints of two sides of a triangle.

Front

How do you find the length of a segment in a triangle?

Back

Use the properties of triangles, such as the Pythagorean theorem or triangle congruence.

Front

What is the formula for finding the length of a midsegment?

Back

The length of a midsegment is half the length of the third side of the triangle.

Front

If the midsegment of a triangle is represented as 5x - 1, how do you solve for x?

Back

Set the midsegment equal to half the length of the third side and solve for x.

Front

What is the relationship between the lengths of the sides of a triangle?

Back

The sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side.

Front

What is the significance of the median in triangle geometry?

Back

Medians help in finding the centroid, which is the point where all three medians intersect.

Front

How do you identify an angle bisector in a triangle?

Back

An angle bisector can be identified by measuring the angles it creates, which should be equal.

Front

What is the difference between a median and a midsegment?

Back

A median connects a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side, while a midsegment connects the midpoints of two sides.
