Side Splitter theorem
Cards in this deck (4)
- 1Side Splitter TheoremIf a line is parallel to a side of a triangle and intersects with two sides. Then this line divides those two sides proportionally.
- 2Find your parallel lines. The line segment in the middle should be on of the parallel lines and should be intersecting with the other two sides.For example.... If one has side lengths of 2 and 4 on one side then, 7 on the bigger side the missing number would be 3.5..
- 3Apply the Side Splitter Theorem: (form a proportion using the side lengths) Solve the proportion for x: 4x = (2)(7) 4x = 14 x = 3.5http://mathbitsnotebook.com/Geometry/Similarity/SMSplitter.html
