i) (Prove) If a line is drawn parallel to one side of triangle to intersect the other two sides in distinct
points, the other two sides are divided inthe same ratio.
ii) (Motivate) If a line divides two sides of a triangle in the same ratio, the line is parallel to the third
side.
iii) (Motivate) It in two triangles, the corresponding angles are equal, their corresponding sides are
proportional and the triangles are similar.
iv) (Motivate) If the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional, their corresponding
angles are equal and the two triangles are similar.
v) )(Motivate) If one angle of triangle is equal to one angle of another triangle and the sides including
these angles are proportional, the two triangles are similar.

hypotenuse, the triangles on each side of the perpendicular are similar to the whole triangle and to
each other.
vii) (Prove) The ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the squares of their
corresponding sides. (only theorem)
viii) (Prove) In a right triangle, the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the
other two sides.
