Overview

Mid-point theorem and its converse connect equal halves in triangles and parallel line properties in a very direct way. The chapter also extends these ideas to quadrilaterals, parallelograms, trapeziums, and the equal intercept theorem. The main ideas are about how mid-points create parallel lines,

Key Concepts

If D and E are

If D and E are the mid-points of sides AB and AC of triangle ABC, then DE // BC and DE = 1/2 BC. This means the segment joining the mid-points of two

If a line passes through

If a line passes through the mid-point of one side of a triangle and is parallel to another side, then it bisects the third side. For example, if D is

If a transversal makes equal intercepts

If a transversal makes equal intercepts on three or more parallel lines, then any other line cutting them also makes equal intercepts.

If P

If P, Q, R, S are the mid-points of the sides AB, BC, CD, DA of quadrilateral ABCD, then PQRS is a parallelogram. This is proved by applying the Mid-P

In a trapezium ABCD with AB

In a trapezium ABCD with AB // DC, if E and F are the mid-points of the non-parallel sides AD and BC, then 2EF = AB + DC, i.e. EF = 1/2(AB + DC).

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the Mid-Point Theorem and use it in triangle problems.
  • Apply the converse of the Mid-Point Theorem to prove a line bisects a side.
  • Use the Mid-Point Theorem in quadrilaterals, parallelograms, and trapeziums.
  • Find unknown lengths using mid-points and parallel lines.
  • Use the Equal Intercept Theorem to transfer equal intercepts from one transversal to another.
