What does the Mid-Point Theorem state about the relationship between the segment joining the mid-points of two sides of a triangle and the third side?

The segment is parallel to the third side and equal to the length of the third side.

The segment is orthogonal to the third side and equal to half the length of it.

The segment is always shorter than the third side by a fixed ratio.

The segment is parallel to the third side and equal to half the length of the third side. (correct)

What conclusion can be drawn from the converse of the Mid-Point Theorem?

A line segment drawn parallel to one side will always bisect two other sides.

If a line is drawn through the mid-point of a side parallel to a second side, it will bisect the opposite vertex.

A line drawn through the mid-point of one side that is parallel to another side will bisect the third side. (correct)

The mid-point of any triangle side can be used to find the centroid of the triangle.
