Answer:
Midsegment

Step-by-step explanation:
In any triangle, the line segment joining two midpoints of two sides is:
1- parallel to the third side
2- equals half the length of the third side

Now, we \re given that the length of PQ = 1/2 MN, this means that P is the midpoint of LM and Q is the midpoint of LN.

The line joining the two midpoints is called the mid-segment

Hope this helps :)
