The midsegments divide any triangle in congruent triangles
A [i]midsegment[/i] of a triangle is a segment that connects the midpoints of any two sides of the triangle.[br][br]This applet demonstrates that the three midsegments of any triangle divide the original triangle in four congruent triangles. [br]The demonstration is based on the following properties:[br]1.The midsegment is always parallel to the third side of the triangle. [br]2. Any parallelogram has a rotational symmetry with center the intersection point of the diagonals and angle of rotation [math]180^{\circ}[/math].
