Follow steps and questions below for this problem situation.
1. Create a segment connecting each pair of corresponding vertices.
2. Find the midpoint of each segment.
3. Draw a line connecting all the midpoints. What would you call this line in relation to the pre-image and image?
4. If you move the pre-image Triangle ABC, what happens to the line created in Step 3?
5. If you move the pre-image so it overlaps the image, does the line still pass through the midpoints? What if you have the images switch sides?
6. When moving the pre-image or image does the size change? Does the shape itself change?
7. Measure the angles created by the segments and the line created in Step 3. What do you find?
8. What other name could you give the line created in Step 3 in relation to the special segments?
