  1. Objective I can prove and use properties of triangle midsegments.

  2. A midsegment of a triangleis a segment that joins the midpoints of two sides of the triangle. Every triangle has three midsegments, which form the midsegment triangle.

  3. Example 2A: Using the Triangle Midsegment Theorem Find each measure. BD ∆ Midsegment Thm. Substitute 17 for AE. BD = 8.5 Simplify.

  4. Example 2B: Using the Triangle Midsegment Theorem Find each measure. mCBD ∆ Midsegment Thm. mCBD = mBDF Alt. Int. s Thm. mCBD = 26° Substitute 26° for mBDF.

  5. Example 3: Indirect Measurement Application In an A-frame support, the distance PQ is 46 inches. What is the length of the support ST if S and T are at the midpoints of the sides? ∆ Midsegment Thm. Substitute 46 for PQ. ST= 23 Simplify. The length of the support ST is 23 inches.
