Theorem 8.4 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.
3
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 1 4 8 12 In the diagram ll , BD=8,DC=4, and AE=12. What is the length of ?
5
Example 2 Given the diagram, determine whether ll . 21 56 16 48

Find x. 36x = 840 x = 23⅓
7
Find x. 2(x + 6) = 5x 2x + 12 = 5x -2x x 12 = 3x 4 = x
8
Find x. 2.5(8 – x) = 3.5x 20 – 2.5x = 3.5x +2.5x +2.5x 20 = 6x 6 6
3⅓ = x
9
Find x. 7 x 3x = 31.5 3 4.5 x = 10.5
10
Find x. 6(x + 5) = 10x 6x + 30 = 10x -6x -6x 30 = 4x 4 4 7.5 = x x 6
7.5 = x
