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.

What point of concurrency in a right triangle is also the midpoint of the hypotenuse?

In a right triangle, the circumcenter is the point of concurrency that serves as the midpoint of the hypotenuse. This is because the circumcenter is equidistant from all three vertices of the triangle, and in a right triangle, it lies at the midpoint of the hypotenuse. Thus, the circumcenter is a unique point of concurrency that has this specific property in right triangles.


What is the segment in a triangle from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side called?
