True. The midpoint of a given line segment must lie on the given line segment because it is the half way point of the line.

Answer:
True

Step-by-step explanation:
A midpoint of a line is defined as half the distance between these two points.
Therefore, to get this midpoint, we should first connect the endpoints of the line and then get the half the distance

This means that the midpoint must lie on the given line segment

Hope this helps :)
