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.

Theorem 5.1: Midsegment Theorem

DE AC and DE=12

AC

The segment connecting themidpoints of two sides of atriangle is parallel to thethird side and is half as longas that side

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.

Prove the Midsegment Theorem

GIVEN : DE is a midsegment of OBC.

PROVE :DE OC and DE = OC12

Write a coordinate proof of the Midsegment Theorem for one midsegment.
