Question
- given that △uvt is the mid - segment △, tell which of the following are true. select all that apply. 2(tu)=pn, mn ii uv, 2mp = tv, ut ii vn
Step1: Recall mid - segment theorem
In a triangle, a mid - segment (a line segment joining the mid - points of two sides of a triangle) is parallel to the third side and its length is half of the length of the third side.
Step2: Analyze option A
Since $\triangle UVT$ is a mid - segment triangle, $TU$ is a mid - segment parallel to $PN$. By the mid - segment theorem, $2(TU)=PN$.
Step3: Analyze option B
$MN$ and $UV$ are related in such a way that because $\triangle UVT$ is a mid - segment triangle, $MN\parallel UV$ according to the mid - segment theorem.
Step4: Analyze option C
$MP$ and $TV$ are not related by the mid - segment theorem in the way $2MP = TV$. There is no such relationship based on the mid - segment properties.
Step5: Analyze option D
$UT$ is a mid - segment of a relevant triangle part, and by the mid - segment theorem, $UT\parallel VN$.
