Basic Proportionality Theorem

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.

THE BASIC
PROPORTIONALITY
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 ”.

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.

of previous discussion to
answer the following

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.
