Objective: To use properties of midsegments
to solve problems.
Definition of a midsegment: A midsegment of a triangle is a segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of the triangle.
Identify Parallel Segments
What are the three pairs of parallel segments ∆DEF?
0Segments RS, ST and TR are midsegments of ∆DEF.
By the Triangle Midsegment Theorem,
