About This Worksheet

This easy-level worksheet contains 15 problems designed for 10th Grade students practicing midsegments, medians & altitudes. Easy worksheets use simpler numbers and straightforward problem types to build confidence and reinforce foundational skills.

The special segments of a triangle reveal deep structural properties — centers of gravity, circumscribed circles, and inscribed circles. These concepts connect to physics, engineering design, and later to coordinate geometry proofs where proving a point is a midpoint or the centroid requires algebraic calculation.

  • Apply the Triangle Midsegment Theorem to find lengths and prove parallelism
  • Locate and use the centroid as the intersection of the three medians
  • Distinguish among the orthocenter, circumcenter, incenter, and centroid of a triangle
  • Use the centroid theorem to find segment lengths when given a median length
  • Construct the circumscribed and inscribed circles of a triangle using the circumcenter and incenter

How to Solve: Worked Example

Example Problem: A midsegment is parallel to a side of length 14. Find the midsegment length.
Solution Steps:
  1. The Midsegment Theorem: a midsegment is half the length of the parallel side.
  2. 14 ÷ 2.
  3. = 7.
Answer: 7
Tip: A midsegment joins the midpoints of two sides and is always parallel to — and half of — the third.
