Question

You can use a compass and a straight edge to verify the Triangle Proportionality Theorem. Although it is not a proof, the construction can help verify the Theorem. You construct a line parallel to a side of a triangle and measure how it cuts the two sides. The construction starts by using a straight edge to draw a triangle. Label the triangle ABC. Then draw and label a point E anywhere on segment AB. Copy angle B to angle E. Write the steps that follow in your own words and explain how you would complete the measurements to show the Triangle Proportionality Theorem.

Answer 1

any idea what the q is dealing wid ?

Answer 2

no im kinda confused actually :(

Answer 3

ha its asking to verify a theorem : Triangle Proportionality Theorem

Answer 4

okay but idk how to :o

Answer 5

ok no probs, its an easy theorem -
it says, "if u draw a line parallel to one side of a triangle, it cuts the sides in equal proportions."

Answer 6

The construction starts by using a straight edge to draw a triangle. Label the triangle ABC.

Answer 7

we just drew a triangle and labelled it. lets continue ok

Answer 8

Next - Then draw and label a point E anywhere on segment AB.
