Geometry: Midsegments of Triangles

by Texas Instruments

Overview

Students explore the properties of the midsegment, a segment that connects the midpoints of two sides of a triangle.

Key Steps

  • Image

    First, students will construct and investigate one midsegment and the relationship of the new small triangle to the original triangle.

  • Image

    Then, all three midsegments will be constructed and this figure will be explored. Students will explore the relationship between the original triangle and the midsegment triangle.
