In Mathematics,
particularly in
Geometry, there is a
certain theorem that
relates these roads,
that is, the Triangle
Midline Theorem.

In a triangle, a segment can be formed
by joining the midpoints of any of its two
sides.
This segment is called the
midline or midsegment of
the triangle.

TRIANGLE MIDLINE THEOREM
The Triangle Midline Theorem states that
the segment that joins the midpoints of two
sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side
and is half of its length.

TRAPEZOID
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly
one pair of parallel sides.
The parallel sides of a trapezoid are called
bases while the non-parallel sides are
called legs.
.

𝑩𝑪 and 𝑨𝑫 are the
bases since 𝑩𝑪 ∥ 𝑨𝑫
𝑨𝑩 and 𝑫𝑪 are the legs
∠𝑩 and ∠𝑪 are base
angles with respect to 𝑩𝑪.
∠𝑨 and ∠𝑫 are base angles
with respect to 𝑨𝑫.

M S
A diagonal is a segment that
joins two non-adjacent vertices
of a trapezoid.
Moreover, the median or
midsegment is the segment
that connects the midpoints of
the two legs of the trapezoid.
𝑩𝑫 and 𝑪𝑨 are the diagonals
𝑴𝑺 is the median or midsegment.

Midsegment Theorem of Trapezoid
The median/midsegment
of a trapezoid is parallel
to each of the bases and
its length is half the sum
of the lengths of the two
bases

Midsegment Theorem of Trapezoid
The median/midsegment of a
trapezoid is parallel to each of the
bases and its length is half the sum
of the lengths of the two bases.
