5-4/5-5 The Triangle Midsegment Theorem and Inequalities in One Δ A midsegment of a ∆ is a segment that joins the midpoints of two sides of the triangle. 3 midsegments form the midsegment ∆. Q midsegments: X Y midsegment ∆: P Z R Examples: Find x. 8x + 10 x 38 15 x 5x Example: Find the following. a) BD b) m CBD Example: Find the following. a) JL b) PM c) m MLK Example: ∆KLM is the midsegment ∆of ∆GHJ. What is the perimeter of ∆GHJ? 12 G K H 7 L M J 11 Example: Write the angles in order from smallest to largest. G 17.2 F 19.6 20.4 ________ ________ ________ H Example: Write the sides in order from shortest to longest. Q 72° ________ 60° P ________ ________ K A triangle is formed by three segments, but not every set of three segments can form a triangle. Example: Tell whether a ∆ can have sides with the given lengths. a. 3, 4, 5 ________ b. 7, 10, 14 ________ c. 5, 8, 13 ________ Example: The length of 2 sides of a ∆ are 8 in and 13 in. Find the range of possible lengths for the 3rd side. ________ < x < ________
