MIDSEGMENT THEOREM

Definition: 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.

CHECKPOINT

All lines inside triangle ABC are midsegments.

1.What is the midsegment of AB: ______2.Line FE is parallel to _____3.Line FD is parallel to _____4.Line DE is parallel to _____5.If FE = 5, then AB= ____6.If FD=10, then CE= ____7.If AB=30, then FE= ____8.If CA=12, then DE=_____
