Are the Red Segments Parallel? Yes. Example Explanantion: 45 = 45
Practice makes perfect
We are given a triangle and we want to determine whether the red segments are parallel.
By the Side-Splitter Theorem, if a line is parallel to one side of a triangle and intersects the other two sides, then it divides those sides proportionally. Let's check if the sides are divided proportionally.
12/15 ? = 16/20
We will simplify each ratio as much as possible to see if they are equivalent.
