Assignment 6.3
Proportions in Triangles: Parallel Line Segments
Objectives
Develop and apply a proportion theorem in triangles having a line segment with endpoints on two sides that is parallel to the third side..
Use the converse of the theorem to identify parallel line segments.
About Geometry Worksheet Assignment 6.3:
Assignment 6.3 is an introduction to proportion theorems resulting from a line segment intersecting two sides of a triangle.
Prerequisite Skills: Calculate cross-products (Assignment 6.2). Solve proportions (Assignment 6.2). Solve algebraic equations with one variable. Evaluate algebraic expressions.
Theorems: A line parallel to one side of a triangle divides the other two sides into segments with lengths that are proportional.
If a line divides two sides of a triangle into segments with proportional lengths, then the line is parallel to the third side of the triangle.
