Vocabulary
• Midsegment of a triangle – is a segment that connects the midpoints of two sides of a triangle.
• Coordinate Proof – placing geometric figures in a coordinate grid, then using variables to represent coordinates.

Apply variable coordinates
Place an isosceles right triangle in a coordinate plane. Then find the length of the hypotenuse and the coordinates of its midpoint M.
