Proportional Angle Bisector Theorem Find PS and SR. 40(x – 2) = 32(x + 5) PS = x – 2 SR = x + 5 40x – 80 = 32x + 160 PS = 28 SR = 35 8x = 240 x = 30 homework
Proportional Altitudes Theorem The drawing of the table below has legs AE and CG. AC measures 12 inches and GE measures 36 inches. If BD measures 7 inches, what is the measure of DF and what is the height of the table? A B C D 12x = 252 x = 21 Therefore, DF = 21, and the table is 28 inches tall. homework
Proportional Medians Theorem In the figure, EFD ~ JKI. EG is a median of EFG and JL is a median of JKL. Find JL if EF = 36, EG = 18, and JK = 56. 36 18 56 E D G F K J I L x 1008 = 36x x = 28 Therefore, JL = 28. homework
