How to do these
A midsegment of a triangle is . Find the side it is parallel to
- A midsegment is half its parallel side.
- So the side is twice the midsegment.
The answer is .
Where students go wrong
Halving when you should double. The midsegment is the shorter one, always, so if your answer is smaller than what you were given you have gone the wrong way.
Also called midsegment theorem, centroid of a triangle or medians.
