By the Side Splitter Theorem, 6 / BD = 12 / 18. So, BD = 9.
Similarly, 24 / BF = 18 / 12. So, BF = 16.

asked 05/01/24Theorem: A line parallel to one side of a triangle divides the other two proportionately.
In the figure below, segment DE is parallel to segment BC and segment EF is parallel to AB:
Which statement can be proved true using the given theorem?
Segment BD = 12 |
Segment BD = 4 |
Segment BF = 16 |
Segment BF = 9 |
By the Side Splitter Theorem, 6 / BD = 12 / 18. So, BD = 9.
Similarly, 24 / BF = 18 / 12. So, BF = 16.
