Example. Properties of the line segment joining the midpoints of two sides of a triangle
Students hypotesis • Triangle, which consists of those line segments, is like the given triangle, only it is inverse and smaller. • All 3 line segments is equal in equilateral triangle. • It is always possible to draw this line segment. • Longest line segment lies in opossite to the widest angle of given triangle. • It is possible to observe trapezoid and rhombus consisting of sides of triangle and those line segments. • The straight segment connecting midpoints of the two sides of a triangle is ahalf of the length of the third side of the triangle.
