Question
State basic proportionality theorem and its converse.
Solution
TO STATE: The basic proportionality theorem and its converse.
BASIC PROPORTIONALITY THEOREM: If a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle intersecting the other two sides, then it divides the two sides in the same ratio.
CONVERSE OF BASIC PROPORTIONALITY THEOREM: If a line divides any two sides of a triangle in the same ratio, then the line must be parallel to the third side.
