ObjectivesUse properties of similar triangles to find
segment lengths.Apply proportionality and triangle angle
bisector theorems.

Perspective Artists use mathematical techniques to
make two-dimensional paintings appear three-dimensional. The invention of perspective was based on the observation that far away objects look smaller and closer objects look larger.
Mathematical theorems like the Triangle Proportionality Theorem are important in making perspective drawings.

Angle bisector theorem The previous theorems and corollary
lead to the following conclusion.
![Page 17: Chapter 7 7-4 Applying Properties of similar triangles](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56649ece5503460f94bdb549/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Example 4: Using the Triangle Angle Bisector Theorem
Find PS and SR.
![Page 18: Chapter 7 7-4 Applying Properties of similar triangles](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56649ece5503460f94bdb549/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
solution
by the ∆ Bisector Theorem.
40(x – 2) = 32(x + 5)
40x – 80 = 32x + 160
40x – 80 = 32x + 160
8x = 240
x = 30
Substitute 30 for x.
PS = x – 2 =30-2=28SR = x + 5=30+5=35
