FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the relationship between the angles formed by a midsegment and the angles of the triangle?
Back
The angles formed by the midsegment are equal to the angles of the triangle at the vertices opposite to the sides the midsegment connects.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
If segment QR is a midsegment of triangle WUV and its length is 8, what is the length of side UV?
Back
The length of side UV is 16, since the midsegment is half the length of the side it is parallel to.
