Student-Constructed GeoGebra Sketch: Easy to Create and Formulate & Test Conjectures!

NOW YOU TAKE THE ROLE of the STUDENT! Use the given GeoGebra tools below to recreate as much of the sketch shown above! (Color matching not necessary.)

QUESTION:

Any segment connecting midpoints of 2 sides of a triangle is called a MIDSEGMENT of that triangle. Move the triangle's vertices around. What seems to be true about the midsegment of ANY TRIANGLE?
