Question

1. choose the correct answer.

a(n) ____ is a segment that extends from the midpoint of one side of a triangle to the midpoint of another side of the triangle.
options: bisector, midsegment, extensor, median

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• bisector: Usually divides an angle or a segment into two equal parts, not specifically between midpoints of triangle sides.
• midsegment: By definition, a midsegment of a triangle is a segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of the triangle. This matches the description.
• extendor: Not a standard geometric term related to triangle sides.
• median: A median connects a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side, not between midpoints of two sides.

Answer:

B. midsegment
