Answer 1

That's based on BPT or Thales theorem

#1

• X must be midpoint of SR

#2

• Y must be midpoint of TR

#3

• XY is half of ST

#4

• XY|| ST

Answer 2

Midsegment is the segment connecting the midpoints

• 1. X must be a midpoint of RS
• 2. Y must be a midpoint of RT

Properties of a midsegment

• 3. XY is parallel tp ST
• 4. XY is half the length of ST
