OpenStudy (yttrium):

First of all, of course you need to find the ratio of proportionality. Can you find it?

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

Well the top 12 and 15 is 4:5?

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

Well hmm. 15 and 40 is .375

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

ignore the 12 and 15..

OpenStudy (yttrium):

Actually, the theorem states likes this |dw:1380122509480:dw| so, if there is a line parallel to one side of the triangle, it proportionally divides the other two sides. Hope you get it

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

So BD=20?

OpenStudy (yttrium):
