Question | Answer |
---|---|
A midsegment connects the ___ of 2 sides on a ___. | midpoints; triangle |
Midsegment theorem- the midsegment of a triangle is parallel to the __ side and __ its length. | 3rd; 1/2 |
Theorem 5.2- If a point is on the perp. bisector of a segment, then it is ____ from the ___ of the segments. | equidistant; enpoints |
Theorem 5.3- If a point is equidistant from the ___ of a segment, then it is on the ____ ____ of the segment. | endpoints; perpendicular bisector |
Theorem 5.4- If a point is on the ____ of an ____, then the point is ____ from the sides of the angle. | bisector; angle; equidistant |
Theorem 5.5- If a point in the ____ of an angle is ____ from the sides of the angle, then the point is on the ____ ____. | interior; equidistant; angle bisector |
