What is a midsegment in a triangle?

Back

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

How do you find the length of a midsegment in a triangle?

Back

To find the length of a midsegment, measure the lengths of the two sides it connects, find their midpoints, and then use the formula: Length of midsegment = 1/2 * Length of the third side.

What is the relationship between a perpendicular bisector and a segment?

Back

A perpendicular bisector is a line that divides a segment into two equal parts at a 90-degree angle. Any point on the perpendicular bisector is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment.

How can you determine if a point lies on the perpendicular bisector of a segment?

Back

To determine if a point lies on the perpendicular bisector, check if the distances from the point to the endpoints of the segment are equal.

What is the significance of the midsegment theorem?

Back

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