To prove that if a line is drawn to one side of a triangle to intersect the other two sides in distinct points, then the other two sides are divided in the same ratio, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Consider Triangle ABC**: Let triangle ABC be given, where a line DE is drawn parallel to side BC, intersecting sides AB and AC at points D and E respectively. 2. **Identify Ratios**: We need to show that the segments AD and DB on side AB, and AE and EC on side AC are in the same ratio. That is, we need to prove: \[ ...
