Front

How many midsegments does a triangle have?

Back

A triangle has 3 midsegments.

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

If a triangle has sides of lengths 10, 14, and 18, what is the length of the midsegment parallel to the side of length 18?

Back

The length of the midsegment is 9.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What segment is parallel to EF in a triangle with midsegments PM, MN, NP, and FG?

Front

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

Back

To find the length of a midsegment, take the average of the lengths of the two sides it connects.

Front

What is the formula for the length of a midsegment?

Back

The length of a midsegment is given by: Length = 1/2 * (Length of the third side).

Front

In a triangle, if one side measures 28 units, what is the length of the midsegment parallel to it?

Back

The length of the midsegment is 14 units.

Front

What is the significance of parallel segments in triangles?

Back

Parallel segments in triangles help in establishing relationships between angles and sides, aiding in solving geometric problems.
