  1. Objective Use properties of triangle midsegments.

  2. __________________– a perpendicular segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side. Every triangle has three altitudes. An altitude can be inside, outside, or on the triangle.

  3. ________________– a segment whose endpoints are a vertex of the triangle and the midpoint of the opposite side. Every triangle has three medians.

  4. ______________– a segment that joins the midpoints of two sides of the triangle. Every triangle has three midsegments, which form the midsegment triangle.
