IM2 6.5 Classwork (Midsegment)

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

Name a property of midsegments in triangles.

Back

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

Front

If segment AC is one side of triangle ABC, what is a segment parallel to it?

Back

Segment DE is parallel to segment AC.

Front

What is the length of a midsegment compared to the side it is parallel to?

Back

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

Front

In triangle BCD, if QR is a midsegment, what can be said about segments BQ and CD?

Back

Segment BQ is parallel to segment CD and is half its length.

Front

If the length of segment AB is 16, what is the length of the midsegment connecting the midpoints of AC and BC?

Back

The length of the midsegment is 8.

Front

Solve for x if QR is a midsegment of triangle BCD and QR = 11.

Back

x = 11.

Front

If QR is a midsegment of triangle FGH and QR = -11, what does this imply about the triangle?

Back

It implies that the value of x calculated from the triangle's dimensions is -11.

Front

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

Back

Midsegments are always parallel to one side and half the length of that side.

Front

In triangle ABC, if DE is a midsegment, what can be inferred about segments AB and AC?

Back

Segments AB and AC are the sides of the triangle that DE connects the midpoints of.
