Geometry - Midsegment Practice

Front

What is the midsegment of a triangle?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between the length of a midsegment and the length of the side it is parallel to?

Back

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

Front

If one side of a triangle is 20 units long, what is the length of the midsegment parallel to that side?

Back

10 units.

Front

Find x if the midsegment is represented as 2x - 68 and the side it is parallel to is 68.

Back

x = 68.

Front

What is the value of x if the midsegment is represented as 6x and the side it is parallel to is 12?

Back

x = 2.
