Warm-Up Solve 1. ) for x. The polygons in each pair are similar. 2. )
Use Proportionality Theorems Objective: Students will be able to use proportions to find the missing side lengths and prove parallel lines in similar triangles. Agenda Triangle Proportionality Theorems for Parallel Lines Examples involving the Theorems
Triangle Proportionality Theorem 6. 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.
