1. Math 2 Side Splitter & Angle Bisector Theorems

2. Triangle Proportionality Theorem aka “The Side Splitter Theorem”
If a line is parallel to one side of a triangle and intersects the other two sides, then it divides the two sides proportionally.

3. Converse of the Triangle Proportionally Theorem
If a line divides two sides of a triangle proportionally, then the line is parallel to the remaining side.

20. Application
Given that the edges of the panels of the sails are parallel, find the values of the variables.

21. Real-world Connection
Sail makers sometimes use a computer to create patterns for sails. After the panels are cut out, they are sown together to form the sail.
The edges of the panels in the sail to the right are parallel. Find the lengths of x and y.
