TCAP Success Geometry Chapter 7

Determine the next step in showing that the segment joining the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half the length.

Step 1: Find the midpoint of each side.

Step 2: Draw a line containing both midpoints, and solve for the slope. Then compare the slope of the segment to the third side of the triangle.

Step 3:

Which side in ∆ABC is the longest side?

Which inequality theorem states that the sum of the measures of any two sides in a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side in that triangle?

By what theorem can you prove the two triangles below congruent?
