In ABCD and E are the midpoints of AC and BC, respectively.
Consider each given information and answer the questions that follow.
A B
1. If DE = 4, then AB = _______
2. If AB = 10, then DE = _______
3. If AD = 9, then AC = _______ D E
4. If BC = 12, then BE = _______

B. Analysis
1. Does the segment drawn look parallel to the third side of the
triangle?
2. Compare the lengths of the segments drawn and the third side. What
did you observed?
3. What two figures are formed if we cut the triangle along the segment
drawn?
4. What can you say about your findings?
C. Abstraction
The Midline Theorem. The segment that joins the midpoints of two sides
of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half as long.

Prove: OE HS , OE = 2 HS H S
Proof:
STATEMENTS REASONS
1. HNS, O is the midpoint of
HN, E is the midpoint of NS
2. In a ray opposite EO, there is a In a ray, point at a given distance
point T such that OE = ET from the endpoint of the ray.
