The Concept This chapter covers some very important theorems and properties of triangles These theories will aid us in our introductory exploration of trigonometry in Chapter 7

Theorem 5.1: Midsegment Theorem The segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and is half as long as that side midpoint How could we show this? A AB B

Find AB, if A & B are midpoints 3x+8 2x+24 A G J B

Coordinate Proof Process of placing a geometric figure on the coordinate plane and then using variables to represent the coordinates to prove various statements (2k,0) (k,h)
