6.6: Use Proportionality Theorems
Objectives:
1. To discover, present, and use various theorems involving proportions with parallel lines and triangles
Proportionality Theorems!
Triangle Proportionality Theorem
If a line parallel to one side of a triangle intersects the other two sides, then it divides the two sides proportionally.
Example 1
Find the length of YZ.
28.64
Proportionality Theorems!
Converse of the Triangle Proportionality Theorem
If a line divides two sides of a triangle proportionally, then it is parallel to the third side.
Example 3
Determine whether PS || QR.
Yes
Example 4
Find the value of x so that

Proportionality Theorems!
Angle Bisector Proportionality Theorem
If a ray bisects an angle of a triangle, then it divides the opposite side into segments whose lengths are proportional to the other two sides.
