Chapter 13.4, Problem 1MC
The following figure is a partial tessellation of the plane with the trapezoid
a. Tessellate the plane with a triangle and show how the tessellation can be used to find the relationship between the length of the segment connecting the midpoints of the two sides of a triangle and the length of the third side(the Midsegment Theorem of Chapter 12).
b. Explain how the tessellation can be used to find a relationship between the midsegment of the trapezoid and the bases.
