  1. 7-4 Parallel Lines and Proportional Parts Geometry

  2. Use proportional parts with triangles. • Use proportional parts with parallel lines. • Use congruence and similarity criteria for triangles to solve problems and to prove relationships in geometric figures.

  3. Theorems 7.5 Triangle Proportionality Theorem If a line parallel to one side of a triangle intersects the other two sides, then it divides the two side proportionally. If TU ║ QS, then RT RU = TQ US

  4. Ex. 1 In ΔPQR, ST//RQ. If PT = 7.5, TQ = 3, and SR = 2.5, find PS. P x 7.5 S T 2.5 3 R Q

  5. Ex. 2 AB is parallel to MN, find x. 10 8 A B x 5 N M

  6. Ex. 3 NP is parallel to RS, find x. M 10 12 N P 15 x R S

  7. Ex. 4: Finding the length of a segment • In the diagram AB ║ ED, BD = 8, DC = 4, and AE = 12. What is the length of EC?

  8. Theorems 7.6 Converse of the Triangle Proportionality Theorem If a line divides two sides of a triangle proportionally, then it is parallel to the third side. RT RU If , then TU ║ QS. = TQ US

  9. Ex. 5: Determining Parallels • Given the diagram, determine whether MN ║ GH. LM 56 8 = = MG 21 3 LN 48 3 = = NH 16 1 8 3 ≠ 3 1 MN is not parallel to GH.

  10. Theorem 7.7 A midsegment of a triangle is parallel to one side of the triangle, and its length is one half the length of that side. • AB = ½ PS A B P S

  11. Proportional Parts of Parallel Lines • If three parallel lines intersect two transversals, then they divide the transversals proportionally. • If r ║ s and s║ t and l and m intersect, r, s, and t, then UW VX = WY XZ

  12. In the diagram 1  2  3, and PQ = 9, QR = 15, and ST = 11. What is the length of TU? Ex. 3: Using Proportionality Theorems

  13. PQ ST Parallel lines divide transversals proportionally. = QR TU 9 11 = Substitute 15 TU 9 ● TU = 15 ● 11 Cross Product property 15(11) 55 TU = = Divide each side by 9 and simplify. 9 3 • So, the length of TU is 55/3 or 18 1/3.
