Midsegment Theorem

Front

What is the Midsegment Theorem?

Back

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

Front

Define a midsegment in a triangle.

Back

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

Front

If QR is a midsegment of triangle BCD, what can be said about segments QR and BC?

Back

Segment QR is parallel to segment BC and its length is half of BC.

Front

What is the relationship between the lengths of the midsegment and the side it is parallel to?

Back

The length of the midsegment is always half the length of the side it is parallel to.

Front

If the length of side BC is 16, what is the length of the midsegment QR?

Back

The length of midsegment QR is 8.

Front

Is segment DE a midsegment if it connects the midpoints of sides AB and AC in triangle ABC?

Back

Yes, segment DE is a midsegment of triangle ABC.

Front

If DE is a midsegment of triangle ABC, what can be said about segment BC?

Back

Segment DE is parallel to segment BC and its length is half of BC.

Front

What is the length of segment KI if VW is a midsegment of triangle KIJ and VW = 4?

Back

The length of segment KI is 8.

Front

If a midsegment is 10 units long, what is the length of the side it is parallel to?

Back

The length of the side it is parallel to is 20 units.

Front

If segment QR is a midsegment of triangle WUV, and QR = 8, what is the length of side UV?

Back

The length of side UV is 16.
