Three pairs. The line joining the midpoints of any two sides of a triangle is always parallel to the third side of the triangle (and half its length).

Do two parallel line segments have the same midpoint?

Two line segments are parallel if the distance between them is the same from one end of the line segment to the other, or if they never intersect. They may very well be different lengths which would give them different midpoints. In fact if you plotted them on the x,y, cartesian coordinate system, even if they were the same lenght, the midpoint would be different since the lines never intersect.
