Midpoint Theorem and Coordinate Proof Section 5.1
The Concept • This chapter covers some very important theorems and properties of triangles • These theories will aid us in our introductory exploration of trigonometry in Chapter 7
Theorem Theorem 5.1: Midsegment Theorem The segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and is half as long as that side How could we show this? midpoint midpoint A B A B
Example Find AB, if A & B are midpoints 3x+8 B A 2x+24 G J
