    Basic Proportionality Theorem

    Uploaded by

    Joseph Von Ryan
    This document provides an overview of the Basic Proportionality Theorem in mathematics for Grade 9 students. It defines proportions and states the Basic Proportionality Theorem - if a line segment intersects two sides of a triangle at distinct points and is parallel to the third side, then the ratios of the corresponding segments are equal. Examples are provided to demonstrate applying the theorem to solve for missing values. The converse theorem is also introduced - if the ratios of corresponding segments are equal, then the line segment is parallel to the third side. Students are assigned to study the proofs of both theorems on their own.

    THEOREM
    Mathematics 9 3rd Q. | week 4
    LESSON’S OBJECTIVES
    ● 1. Recall and describes a proportion.
    ● 2. Identifying the Basic Proportionality Theorem
    (BPT) and its Converse Theorem
    ● 3. Applies the fundamental theorems of
    proportionality to solve problems involving proportions.
    Let’s recall
    Exploring more…
    Basic Proportionality Theorem
    ● Now for today’s lesson we are tackling about
    the Basic Proportionality Theorem, the lesson to
    build up the topic of “Similar Triangles”.
    To refresh the discussion. Can you define the term
    Proportion?

     Proportion - A proportion is an equation in


    which two ratios are set equal to each other.
    Basic Proportionality Theorem
    Theorem 1 – Basic Proportionality
    Theorem
    ” If a line segment XY intersects sides
    AB and AC of any triangle ABC at
    distinct point X and Y, respectively, and
    is parallel to the third side, then ”.

    X Y

    𝐵𝑋 𝐶𝑌
    Let’s Practice few
    Examples
    Example no. 1
    Solving problems involving Basic Proportionality
    Theorem. Look for missing x
    A Sol’N: Using the BPT, we
    can solve for x, recall that
    20 25 , let’s form a proportion by
    P Q substituting the values.,
    solve for x.
    x 30

    Example no. 1
    Solving problems involving Basic Proportionality
    Theorem. Look for missing x
    A Sol’N:
    20(15) = 25x
    20 25 300 = 25x
    P Q x = 12
    Therefore, the length of
    30
    x BP = 12.

    B C
    Example no. 2
    Solve for y and the lengths of opposite sides.
    M Sol’n: Setup the proportion
    , let’s form a proportion by
    substituting the values., solve for y
    16 y(2y) = 36(16)
    = 576
    A = 288
    y = 16.970
    Therefore, the length of BP =
    2y 16.970 and OA = 33.94

    O 36 B y P
    Converse of Basic Proportionality
    Theorem
    Theorem 2 – Converse of Basic
    Proportionality Theorem
    ”If line segment XY intersects sides AB
    and AC of Triangle ABC at two distinct
    points X and Y respectively, such that ,
    then line segment XY is parallel to the
    third side.”
    Observation Time!!!
    J By observation, do you think XY II HJ? Yes or No?

    H Let’s see, Setup the proportion


    20 30 ,

    X Y ,

    From this proportion, we can say that they are not


    40 40 equal, by converse of Basic Proportionality Theorem,
    we conclude that XY is not parallel to HJ.

    Time for seatwork, make use
    of previous discussion to
    answer the following
    correctly.

    Level Up!!
    Let us Enlighten what you have learned for today.
    Real-life situation???
    Question: Why do you think is the application of Basic Proportionality Theorem is
    Important?

    • In trades where constructing and forming road is needed, the triangle proportionality
    theorem is often used to determine how long a route should be. For example, say an
    engineer wants to build a mountain road.

    • The triangle proportionality theorem is useful for construction. For example, say a
    contractor is building support beams for the roof of a house. One support beam has already
    been applied to the upper part of the room, but an additional one must be constructed.
    Assignment
    Direction: Search for the proofs and study on your own.

    1. Proof of Basic Proportionality Theorem.

    2. Proof of the Converse of Basic Proportionality Theorem.

    3. Write a reaction about the proof about the said Theorems.
