The midsegments of a triangle have the midpoints of each side of the triangle as endpoints.

The midpoints are X, Y and Z, so the midsegments are XY, XZ, YZ.

The triangle formed by the midsegments is triangle XYZ.

Answer: The midsegments are XY, XZ, YZ.

The triangle is XYZ.

We know that DE is parallel to AC, so DE || AC.

We also know that DE = 1/2 * AC.

Answer:

DE || AC

DE = 1/2 * AC

AC = 2 * DE
