8.5 Three Theorems Involving Proportion Objective: After studying this section, you will be able to apply three theorems frequently used to establish proportionality.
Theorem If a line is parallel to one side of a triangle and intersects the other two sides, it divides those two sides proportionally. (Side-Splitter Theorem) A Given: BE ll CD E B Prove: D C
Theorem If three or more parallel lines are intersected by two transversals, the parallel lines divide the transversals proportionally. B A Given: AB ll CD ll EF C G Prove: D E F
Theorem If a ray bisects an angle of a triangle, it divides the opposite side into segments that are proportional to the adjacent sides. (Angle Bisector Theorem)
