Within your groups, come up with the definition of the word midsegment. What do you think is a midsegment of a triangle? And how can you apply these concepts. You have 5 minutes…
A midsegment of a triangleis a segment that joins the midpoints of two sides of the triangle. Every triangle has three midsegments.
Find PR and ST. • ST and TU are midsegments of
On Your Own AB and BC are midsegments of Find XZ and BC.
It’s all related… How is a midsegment related to the side it does not intersect? Rewrite the Midsegment Theorem in your own words.
