2. MIDSEGMENT THEOREM: The segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and is half as long as that side. 𝐵
𝐷𝐸 ∥ 𝐴𝐶
𝐷𝐸= 1 2 𝐴𝐶 𝐸 𝐷 𝐴 𝐶

3. If the perimeter of
△𝑅𝑆𝑇=68 𝑖𝑛𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑠, find
the perimeter of △𝑈𝑉𝑊.
△𝑈𝑉𝑊= 1 2 (68)
If 𝑉𝑊=2𝑥−4 and
𝑅𝑆=3𝑥−3, what is 𝑉𝑊?
2 𝑉𝑊 =𝑅𝑆
2 2𝑥−4 =3𝑥−3
4𝑥−8=3𝑥−3
− 3𝑥 − 3𝑥
𝑥−8=−3
𝒙=𝟓
𝑉𝑊=2𝑥−4
𝑉𝑊=2 5 −4=6 𝑆 𝑈 𝑉 𝑅 𝑊 𝑇
1. If 𝑈𝑉=13, find 𝑅𝑇.
𝑅𝑇=2 𝑈𝑉 =2 13 =26
2. If 𝑆𝑇=20, find 𝑈𝑊.
𝑈𝑊= 1 2 𝑆𝑇 = =10

4. A different way to think about this:
CONCURRENCY OF MEDIANS: The medians of a triangle intersect at a point that is two thirds of the distance from each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.
𝐴𝑃= 2 3 𝐴𝐵 𝐴
A different way to think about this:
𝐴𝑃 is twice as long as 𝐵𝑃 OR
𝐵𝑃 is half of 𝐴𝑃 𝟐𝒙 𝑃 𝒙 𝐵
CENTRIOD

5. PRACTICE: 𝑃 is the centroid of △𝐴𝐷𝐸, 𝐶𝐸=27𝐵 𝐶 𝐸 𝐹
1. 𝐹𝐸=
2. 𝐶𝑃=
3. 𝑃𝐸=
4. 𝐹𝑃=
5. 𝐹𝐷=
6. 𝐴𝐸=
𝐴𝐹=12 12
1 3 𝐶𝐸=9
2 3 𝐶𝐸=18
1 2 𝐷𝑃=3 6
𝐹𝑃+𝑃𝐷=9
2𝐴𝐹=24

6. 𝐴𝐵+𝐵𝐶>𝐴𝐶 𝐵𝐶+𝐴𝐶>𝐴𝐵 𝐴𝐶+𝐴𝐵>𝐵𝐶
TRIANGLE INEQUALITY THEOREM: The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. 𝐶 𝐵 𝐴
𝐴𝐵+𝐵𝐶>𝐴𝐶
𝐵𝐶+𝐴𝐶>𝐴𝐵
𝐴𝐶+𝐴𝐵>𝐵𝐶

7. 𝐴𝐵 < 𝐵𝐶 < 𝐴𝐶 Triangle inequalities: ∠𝐶=35° ∠𝐴=45° ∠𝐵=110°𝑎 𝑐 𝐶 𝑏 𝐴 𝐴𝐵
< 𝐵𝐶
< 𝐴𝐶
The longest side of a triangle is opposite the largest angle.
The smallest side of a triangle is opposite the smallest angle.

8. YES, IT IS POSSIBLE TO CONSTRUCT THIS TRIANGLE!
PRACTICE: Is it possible to construct a triangle with the sides 3, 7, 9?
1. Smallest possible value can be found by subtracting the two largest numbers.
2. Greatest possible value can be found by adding the two smallest numbers.
smallest value:𝑥>9−7
𝒙>𝟐
largest value:𝑥<3+7
𝒙<𝟏𝟎
Check smallest given side….3
𝟑>𝟐
Check greatest given side….9
𝟗<𝟏𝟎
YES, IT IS POSSIBLE TO CONSTRUCT THIS TRIANGLE!
