Card 1Mid-Point Theorem

What is the Mid-Point Theorem?

Answer

The line segment joining the mid-points of any two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and is equal to half of it. If D and E are mid-points of sides AB and AC of triangle ABC, then DE ∥

Card 2Converse of Mid-Point Theorem

State the Converse of the Mid-Point Theorem.

Answer

The straight line drawn through the mid-point of one side of a triangle and parallel to another side bisects the third side. If D is mid-point of AB and DE ∥ BC, then E is the mid-point of AC.

Card 3Mid-Point Theorem Application

In triangle ABC, if P and Q are mid-points of AB and AC respectively, and BC = 12 cm, find PQ.

Answer

By Mid-Point Theorem, PQ = ½BC = ½ × 12 = 6 cm. The line segment joining mid-points is always half the length of the third side.

Card 4Applications in Quadrilaterals

What happens when you join the mid-points of adjacent sides of any quadrilateral?

Answer

The figure formed by joining the mid-points of adjacent sides of any quadrilateral is always a parallelogram. This is proven using the Mid-Point Theorem applied to the diagonals of the original quadri

Card 5Equal Intercept Theorem

What is the Equal Intercept Theorem?

Answer

If a transversal makes equal intercepts on three or more parallel lines, then any other line cutting them will also make equal intercepts. This means if PQ = QR on parallel lines, then any other trans

Card 6Converse Application

In triangle ABC, D is mid-point of AB and DE ∥ BC. If AC = 8 cm, find AE.

Answer

By Converse of Mid-Point Theorem, E is the mid-point of AC. Therefore, AE = ½AC = ½ × 8 = 4 cm. When a line through mid-point is parallel to third side, it bisects the remaining side.

Card 7Trapezium Properties

What special property does the line segment joining mid-points of non-parallel sides of a trapezium have?

Answer

In a trapezium, the line segment joining the mid-points of non-parallel sides is parallel to the parallel sides and its length equals half the sum of the parallel sides. If AB ∥ DC and EF joins mid-po

Card 8Proof Techniques

How do you prove that a figure formed by joining mid-points is a parallelogram?

Answer

Use the Mid-Point Theorem on triangles formed by diagonals. Show that opposite sides are parallel and equal by proving they are both parallel to the same diagonal and equal to half of it. This makes o
