Midsegment of Triangles, Midpoint Formula and Distance Formula

What is the Midsegment of a Triangle?

Back

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

What is the Midpoint Formula?

Back

The midpoint formula is used to find the midpoint of a line segment. It is given by: Midpoint M = ( (x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2 ) where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the endpoints.

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

Back

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

If the coordinates of points A and B are (2, 3) and (4, 7), what is the midpoint?

Back

Using the midpoint formula, the midpoint M = ( (2 + 4)/2 , (3 + 7)/2 ) = (3, 5).
