Triangle Midsegment

Front

What is a midsegment in a triangle?

Back

A midsegment is a line segment that connects the midpoints of two sides of a triangle.

Front

What is the relationship between a midsegment and the third side of the triangle?

Back

The length of a midsegment is always half the length of the third side of the triangle.

Front

If GH is a midsegment of triangle DEF, what is the equation that represents its length?

Back

GH = 1/2 DF.

Front

In triangle BCD, if QR is a midsegment, how do you find the value of x if QR = 1/2 BC?

Back

Set up the equation QR = 1/2 BC and solve for x.

Front

What is the formula to calculate the perimeter of a triangle?

Back

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of all its sides.

Front

If BD = 16, EA = 5, and FC = 3, how do you find the perimeter of triangle ABC?

Back

Add the lengths of all sides: Perimeter = AB + BC + CA = BD + EA + FC.

Front

What is the significance of midsegments in triangle geometry?

Back

Midsegments help in understanding triangle properties, such as similarity and proportionality.

Front

How can you identify a midsegment in a triangle?

Back

A midsegment can be identified by locating the midpoints of two sides and drawing a line segment between them.

Front

What is the length of a midsegment if the third side of the triangle is 30 units?

Back

The length of the midsegment would be 15 units.

Front

If segment DE is a midsegment of triangle ABC, what can be said about segments AB and AC?

Back

Segments AB and AC are proportional to the lengths of the sides of triangle ABC.
