Question 1 of 10
medium
In triangle ABC, D and E are mid-points of AB and AC. If base BC = 18 cm, what is the length of DE?
18 cm
36 cm
9 cm
12 cm
Explanation: By the Mid-point Theorem, the segment joining mid-points is half the base: 18 / 2 = 9 cm.
Question 2 of 10
medium
If a line is drawn from the mid-point of one side of a triangle parallel to the base, where does it hit the second side?
At the quarter-point
At the exact mid-point
At the vertex corner
It misses the side
Explanation: This is the direct definition guaranteed by the Converse of the Mid-point Theorem.
Question 3 of 10
medium
Three parallel lines make equal intercepts of 4 cm each on transversal T1. If they cut a second transversal T2 such that the first segment is 5 cm, what is the next segment?
4 cm
5 cm
10 cm
2.5 cm
Explanation: By the Intercept Theorem, since intercepts are equal on T1, they must be equal on T2.
Question 4 of 10
medium
In triangle XYZ, M is the mid-point of XY and N is the mid-point of XZ. If MN = 4.5 cm, calculate the length of the base side YZ.
4.5 cm
13.5 cm
9.0 cm
6.0 cm
Explanation: Base = 2 × MN = 2 × 4.5 = 9 cm.
Question 5 of 10
medium
The perimeter of a triangle is 40 cm. A new inner triangle is formed by connecting all three mid-points of its sides. What is the perimeter of this inner triangle?
40 cm
80 cm
20 cm
10 cm
Explanation: Each side of the inner triangle is half of a corresponding outer side, so the perimeter is halved.
Question 6 of 10
medium
In triangle ABC, D is the mid-point of AB and DE is parallel to BC. If segment AE measures 7 cm, what is the total length of side AC?
7 cm
14 cm
21 cm
10.5 cm
Explanation: By the Converse Theorem, E is the mid-point of AC. Total AC = 2 × AE = 2 × 7 = 14 cm.
Question 7 of 10
medium
If the line joining the mid-points of two sides of a triangle is represented by x + 2, and the base is 16 cm, find x.
8
4
6
12
Explanation: 2 × (x + 2) = 16 -> 2x + 4 = 16 -> 2x = 12 -> x = 6.
Question 8 of 10
medium
Four parallel lines slice transversal T1 into three equal sections. How many equal sections will they create on any other transversal line?
4
2
3
1
Explanation: Four parallel lines create exactly three distinct interior intercept steps across any intersecting line.
Question 9 of 10
medium
In triangle PQR, S is the mid-point of PQ and ST is parallel to QR. If PT = 2x - 1 and TR = x + 3, solve for the variable x.
2
4
1
3
Explanation: By the Converse Theorem, PT = TR -> 2x - 1 = x + 3 -> x = 4.
Question 10 of 10
medium
The segment connecting the mid-points of two sides of a triangle is 8 cm long. What is the length of the base line?
4 cm
8 cm
12 cm
16 cm
Explanation: The base line length is exactly double the inner mid-point segment length: 2 × 8 = 16 cm.
