5-4 The Triangle Midsegment Theorem
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.

5-4 The Triangle Midsegment TheoremExample 2A: Ordering Triangle Side Lengths and Angle
Measures Write the angles in order from smallest to largest.
The angles from smallest to largest are F, H and G.
The shortest side is , so the smallest angle is F.
The longest side is , so the largest angle is G.

5-4 The Triangle Midsegment Theorem
A triangle is formed by three segments, but not every set of three segments can form a triangle.

5-4 The Triangle Midsegment Theorem
A certain relationship must exist among the lengths of three segments in order for them to form a triangle.

5-4 The Triangle Midsegment TheoremExample 3A: Applying the Triangle Inequality Theorem
Tell whether a triangle can have sides with the given lengths. Explain.
7, 10, 19
No—by the Triangle Inequality Theorem, a triangle cannot have these side lengths.
