Theorem 6.4 -

Triangle Proportionality Theorem

If a line parallel to one side of a triangle intersects the other two

sides, then it divides the two sides proportionally.

Perform Similarity Transformations

Vocabulary
Dilation -

A transformation that stretches or shrinks a figure.

Vocabulary
Center of Dilation -

A fixed point in a dilation.

Vocabulary
Scale Factor of a Dilation - A ratio of a side length of the image where
k is the scale factor.
If 0 < k < 1 then the dilation is a reduction.
If k > 1, the dilation is an enlargement.
