Understanding the Midsegment Theorem

What is a key property of a midsegment in a triangle?

• It is equal in length to the base.

• It is twice the length of the base.

• It is parallel to the base and half its length.

• It is perpendicular to the base.

When given the midpoints of a triangle's sides, what is the first step to find the original triangle?

• Find the perimeter of the triangle.

• Calculate the area of the triangle.

• Determine the slopes of the midsegments.

• Measure the angles of the midsegments.

How do you use the slope of a midsegment to find a vertex of the triangle?

• By doubling the slope value.

• By using the slope to find parallel lines.

• By halving the slope value.

• By reversing the slope direction.

What is the relationship between the midsegment and the base of a triangle?

• The midsegment is twice the length of the base.

• The midsegment is perpendicular to the base.

• The midsegment is equal in length to the base.

• The midsegment is parallel and half the length of the base.

What theorem helps in constructing a triangle from its midpoints?

• Congruence Theorem

• Pythagorean Theorem

• Midsegment Theorem

• Triangle Inequality Theorem
