Study Notes
Thales' Theorem
- Statement: A line drawn parallel to one side of a triangle divides the other two sides proportionally.
- Mathematical Representation: If line AB is parallel to line CD within triangle ABC, then (AC/BC) = (AD/BD).
- Application: Thales' Theorem helps understand the relationships between sides and parallel lines within triangles.
- Context: This theorem is attributed to Thales, a Greek mathematician.
