Dive into the concept of midsegments of triangles, exploring the relationship between a triangle's midsegments and their corresponding sides. Learn the essential theorem stating that a midsegment is parallel to one side and half the length of that side. This guide includes practice problems to reinforce your understanding: find values for AD, BE, AC, DE, and variables in equations of midsegments. Master the skills needed to prove that DE is parallel to AC and calculate necessary relationships involving midpoints D and E.
