Today, we will explore the concept of midsegments within triangles. By the end of the lesson, you will be able to identify the midsegments of a triangle and understand their properties. We'll kick off with a group discussion to define what a midsegment is and discuss its practical implications. A midsegment joins the midpoints of two sides of a triangle, and every triangle has three such segments. We will also analyze connections between midsegments and non-intersecting sides. Get ready to apply and deepen your understanding of the Midsegment Theorem!

Learning Goals Today you will be able to: • Identify the midsegments of a triangle • Use properties of midsegments of a triangle
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.
