just draw a line parallel to one side, but almost on top of it. It is surely not the midsegment.
In fact, of all the possible parallel lines, only one is the midsegment!
Draw a counter example that shows that the statement, "if a segment is parallel to one side of a triangle and intersects two other sides then it must be the midsegment of that triangle" is false.
Please explain how i can prove this wrong! Thanks!
