GEOCCR 5.1 Midsegments

Front

What is a midsegment in a triangle?

Back

A midsegment is a line segment that connects the midpoints of two sides of a triangle. It is parallel to the third side and its length is half the length of that side.

Front

If AC = 42, what is the length of DF?

Back

21

Front

How do you find the length of a midsegment?

Back

The length of a midsegment is calculated as half the length of the side it is parallel to.

Front

What is the relationship between the midsegment and the sides of a triangle?

Back

The midsegment is parallel to one side of the triangle and its length is half of that side.

Front

If AB = 34, what is the length of the midsegment connecting AC and BC?

Back

17

Front

What is the measure of angle X if it is given as 60 degrees?

Back

60 degrees

Front

If the lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10 and 14, what is the maximum length of the midsegment?

Back

12 (the midsegment can be at most half the length of the longest side).

Front

Find the missing length if the midsegment is 9. What is the length of the side it is parallel to?

Back

18

Front

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

Back

Length of midsegment = 1/2 * Length of the side it is parallel to.

Front

If the midsegment measures 6, what is the length of the side it is parallel to?

Back

12
