EXAMPLE 1 Use the Midsegment Theorem to find lengths
CONSTRUCTION
SOLUTION
UV =12 RT =
12 ( 90 in.) = 45 in.
RS = 2 VW = 2 ( 57 in.) = 114 in.
Triangles are used for strength in roof trusses. In the diagram, UV and VW are midsegments of
Find UV and RS.RST.
GUIDED PRACTICE for Example 1
1. Copy the diagram in Example 1. Draw and name the third midsegment.
2. In Example 1, suppose the distance UW is 81 inches. Find VS.
ANSWER
81 in.
