Midsegment Theorem Practice

Front

What is the Midsegment Theorem?

Back

The Midsegment Theorem states that a segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and its length is half the length of that side.

Front

If segment VW is a midsegment of triangle KIJ, what is the relationship between segment VW and segment KI?

Back

Segment VW is parallel to segment KI and its length is half of segment KI.

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

How do you find the length of a midsegment?

Back

To find the length of a midsegment, take half the length of the side of the triangle that it is parallel to.

Front

If segment QR is a midsegment of triangle BCD, and the length of segment BC is 18, what is the length of segment QR?

Back

The length of segment QR is 9, which is half of 18.

Front

What is the significance of midsegments in triangle geometry?

Back

Midsegments help in understanding triangle properties, proving congruence, and solving for unknown lengths.

Front

If segment DE is a midsegment of triangle ABC, and segment AC is 20, what is the length of segment DE?

Back

The length of segment DE is 10, which is half of 20.

Front

In triangle GHI, if TS is a midsegment and the length of segment GH is 16, what is the length of segment TS?

Back

The length of segment TS is 8, which is half of 16.

Front

What can be concluded if two segments are midsegments of a triangle?

Back

If two segments are midsegments, they are parallel to the third side and each is half the length of that side.

Front

If segment PM is parallel to segment EF, what can be inferred about their lengths?

Back

If segment PM is a midsegment, then its length is half the length of segment EF.
