Triangle Midsegment Theorem
A midsegment of a triangle is parallel to
a side of the triangle, and its length is
half the length of that side.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Concept:

According to the midsegment theorem, every line segment connecting any two triangle sides' midpoints is parallel to and comprises half of the third side.
Parallel Lines are any Two or more Lines that all lie in the Same Plane and never Cross one another. Both of them have the same slope and are equally spaced apart.
