Proportional SegmentsIf the two segments are
divided proportionately,
(1)The corresponding new
segments are in
proportion, and
(2)The two original
segments and either pair
corresponding new
segments are in
proportion.
7.3A Obtaining the Eight Arrangements of any problems
A proportion such us can be arranged in eight ways. To obtain the eight variations, we let each term of the proportion respect one of the new segments. Two of the possible proportions are then obtained from each direction, as follows:
7.3 B Principles of the proportion Segments
Principle 1: If a line is parallel to one side of a triangle,
then it divides the other two sides proportionately.
Principle 2: If a line divides two sides of a triangle
proportionately, it is parallel to the third side.
Principle 3Three or more parallel lines divided any two
transversals proportionately.
Thus in Fig. 7-3, then =.
Principle 4: A bisector of an angle of triangle divides the opposite side
into segments which are proportional to the adjacent sides.Thus in of Fig. 7-4, if bisect then =.
