  1. 5.1: Midsegments of Triangles Objectives: To use properties of midsegments to solve problems

  2. Warm-Up • Find the distance between the 2 points A(-1,-4) and B(2, 3). • Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment with endpoints A(-2, 3) and B(4, 1)

  3. Midsegment of a Triangle • Segment connecting the midpoints of 2 sides of a triangle B D E C A D is the midpoint of E is the midpoint of is the midsegment of

  4. Triangle MidsegmentTheorem If a segment joins the midpoints of 2 sides of a triangle, the segment is parallel to the 3rd side, and is ½ its length • Do NOT assume it’s a midsegment unless they tell you or you prove it.

  5. Triangle Midsegment Theorem is the midsegment of Therefore…. AND

  6. EXAMPLES: Find the value of the variables. 1. 2. A B C x x+2 E D 18 20
