Vocabulary midsegment of a triangle

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

Example 1: Examining Midsegments in the Coordinate Plane 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 . Step 1 Find the coordinates of M and N.

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

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

Check It Out! Example 1 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 Step 1 Find the coordinates of M and N.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
