Proportions and Similar Proportions
The 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.
Converse of the Triangle Proportionality Theorem
If a line divides two sides of a triangle proportionally, then it is parallel to the third side.
Theorem 6.6
If three parallel lines intersect two transversals, then they divide the transversals
proportionally.
Theorem 6.7
If a ray bisects an angle of a triangle, then it divides the opposite side into segments whose
lengths are proportional to the lengths of the other two sides.
