Midsegment of a Triangle Calculator
Find triangle midpoint segment from parallel side. Example: Parallel side: 2 m gives 1 m. Segment joins two side midpoints and is parallel to third side. Flat Euclidean geometry; enter stated meter measurements. No material thickness, waste, structural recommendation or curved earth. Display rounding does not change calculation.
Segment joins two side midpoints and is parallel to third side. Flat Euclidean geometry; enter stated meter measurements. No material thickness, waste, structural recommendation or curved earth. Display rounding does not change calculation. Derivation: Similar triangle with scale 1/2.
Accepted inputs: Parallel side: 0.001 to 1,000 m.
How the calculation works
midsegment = parallel side/2
Worked example
With parallel side 2 m, triangle midpoint segment from parallel side is 1 m.
Assumptions and limits
Segment joins two side midpoints and is parallel to third side. Flat Euclidean geometry; enter stated meter measurements. No material thickness, waste, structural recommendation or curved earth. Display rounding does not change calculation. Derivation: Similar triangle with scale 1/2.
