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.
