TRIANGLE THEOREMS
Theorem A
If 2 triangles have equal
altitudes, then the ratio
of their areas is equal to
the ratio of their bases.
Theorem B
2 triangles on the same base and between 2 parallels are
equal in area.

C
Theorem C
If a line is parallel to 1 side of a triangle and intersects the other 2 sides
in distinct points, then it divides the sides proportionally. Conversely,
if a line divides 2 sides of a triangle proportionally, then the line is
parallel to the third side.
Theorem

bisector of
an angle of
a triangle
separates
the
opposite
side into
segments
whose
lengths
are
proportion
al to the
lengths of
the other
2 sides.
