  2. Warm Up Use the points A(2, 2), B(12, 2) and C(4, 8) for Exercises 1–5. 1.Find X and Y, the midpoints of AC and CB. 2. Find XY. 3. Find AB. 4. Find the slope of AB. 5. Find the slope of XY. 6. What is the slope of a line parallel to 3x + 2y = 12? (3, 5), (8, 5) 5 10 0 0

  3. Objective Prove and use properties of triangle midsegments.

  4. Vocabulary midsegment of a triangle

  5. 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.

  6. The vertices of ∆XYZ are X(–1, 8), Y(9, 2), and Z(3, –4). M and N are the midpoints of XZ and YZ. Show that and . Example 1: Examining Midsegments in the Coordinate Plane Step 1 Find the coordinates of M and N.

  7. Step 2 Compare the slopes of MN and XY. Since the slopes are the same, Example 1 Continued

  8. Step 3 Compare the heights of MN and XY. Example 1 Continued

  9. The vertices of ΔRST are R(–7, 0), S(–3, 6), and T(9, 2). M is the midpoint of RT, and N is the midpoint of ST. Show that and Check It Out! Example 1 Step 1 Find the coordinates of M and N.

  10. Step 2 Compare the slopes of MN and RS. Since the slopes are equal . Check It Out! Example 1 Continued

  11. Step 3 Compare the heights of MN and RS. The length of MN is half the length of RS. Check It Out! Example 1 Continued

  12. The relationship shown in Example 1 is true for the three midsegments of every triangle.

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

  14. 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.

  15. Check It Out! Example 2a Find each measure. JL ∆ Midsegment Thm. Substitute 36 for PN and multiply both sides by 2. 2(36) = JL 72 = JL Simplify.

  16. Check It Out! Example 2b Find each measure. PM ∆ Midsegment Thm. Substitute 97 for LK. PM = 48.5 Simplify.

  17. Check It Out! Example 2c Find each measure. mMLK ∆ Midsegment Thm. mMLK = mJMP Similar triangles mMLK = 102° Substitute.

  18. 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.

  19. Check It Out! Example 3 What if…? Suppose Anna’s result in Example 3 (p. 323) is correct. To check it, she measures a second triangle. How many meters will she measure between H and F? ∆ Midsegment Thm. Substitute 1550 for AE. HF= 775 m Simplify.
