8-4 Proportions in Triangles Class Notes and Examples
Theorem 7-4: Side-Splitter Theorem • If a line runs through a triangle, parallel to one side, then it cuts the sides it crosses proportionally.
Corollary to Side-Splitter Theorem • If three parallel lines cross two transversals, the segments created are proportional.
Theorem 7-5: Triangle Angle Bisector Theorem • If a ray bisects an angle, then it cuts the opposite side into segments which are proportional to the sides.
