KEY CONCEPTS
A transversal is a line that cuts through two parallel
lines.
When a triangle contains a line that is parallel to one
of its sides, the two triangles formed can be proved
similar using the AA Similarity Postulate. Since
triangles are similar, their sides are proportional.
The three midsegments of a triangle form the
Midsegment Triangle.
