Activity: You will use the GeoGebra geometry tool to explore how a line parallel to one side of a triangle divides the other two sides of the triangle. Go to
segments parallel to sides of a triangle e, and complete each step below. If you need help, follow these instructions for using GeoGebra.

Question 1: Check the box labeled Show Segment Parallel to BC. Notice that DE intersects two sides of AABC creating a smaller triangle. AADE. How is
AADE related to AABC? How do you know?

Answer 1

Angle D and angle B are congruent because they are corresponding angles. Angle E and C are also congruent because they are corresponding angles.
