Theorem: The line segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and is congruent to one half of the third side. Proof: Consider the triangle ABC with the midpoint of AB labelled M. Now construct a line through M parallel to BC.
The midsegments of a triangle are the midpoints of the three sides of the triangle.

Baravelle spirals are generated by connecting the midpoints of the successive sides of a regular polygon. Triangles will be formed. The process of identifying and repeatedly connecting the midpoints is called iteration.

36. If the length of the line segment joining the midpoints of two sides of an equilateral triangle is 6 the perimeter of the triangle is 36.
I think it's called a vertice, and there are 3 vertices in a triangle. -- WRONGCORRECTION- it is NOT called a vertice. A vertice is each angle point, there ARE three vertices in a triangle but they the point of each angle.Now, a segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is called a mid-segment. There are three mid-segments in a triangle.Go here for more info* http://regentsprep.org/Regents/math/geometry/GP10/MidLineL.htm *

mid-segment
The midpoint theorem says the following: In any triangle the segment joining the midpoints of the 2 sides of the triangle will be parallel to the third side and equal to half of it
