Midsegment Theorem Practice

Front

What is the Midsegment Theorem?

Back

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

Front

How do you find the slope of a line segment?

Back

The slope of a line segment is calculated using the formula: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the endpoints.

Front

What does it mean for two lines to be parallel?

Back

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope and will never intersect.

Front

If segment DF has a slope of 0, what does that indicate about its orientation?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates that segment DF is horizontal.

Front

What is the relationship between the slopes of parallel lines?

Back

Parallel lines have equal slopes.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

If the measure of segment ST is 12, what can you infer about its relationship to other segments in the triangle?

Back

Segment ST is a midsegment, which means it is parallel to the third side and its length is half of that side.

Front

What is the significance of finding the measure of segment PU?

Back

Finding the measure of segment PU helps in understanding the relationships between the sides of the triangle and applying the Midsegment Theorem.

Front

How do you solve for x in an equation?

Back

To solve for x, isolate x on one side of the equation using algebraic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.

Front

What does 'not enough information' mean in a geometry context?

Back

'Not enough information' indicates that there are insufficient data or measurements to determine the length or relationship of a segment.
