Based on your observations in question 7, what general conclusion can you draw about any line that is parallel to one side of a triangle and intersects the other two sides?
(question 7. Now check the boxes for Show Segment Parallel to AC and Show Segment Parallel to AB. Find the ratio of BF to FC and the ratio of GB to AG. Then find the ratio of IC to BI and the ratio of HC to AH. (If you want to move , select point F, and if you want to move , select point H.) What can you say about the relationship between the pairs of lengths in each case? (The ratio of BF to FC is proportional to the ratio of GB to AG. Similarly, the ratio of IC to BI is proportional to the ratio of HC to AH.))
