Ratio and Proportion
1.1 Definition: If a and b are any two quantities of the same kind and the same units, the ratio of
a to b, written as a/b or a:b, is the result of comparing them by division.
Example: Find the ratio of a to b if a = 6 cm and b = 8 cm.
1.2 Definition: In the equal ratios
, two sequences of numbers and ,
where none of the numbers in the second sequence is 0, are said to be proportional.
Example: The sequence 2, 4, 6, … and 3, 6, 9, … are proportional since
1.3 Definition: A proportion is a statement of the equality of two ratios; in other words, the
statement a/b = c/d is a proportion.
Example: If a = 5, b = 12, c = 15 and d = 36 then a, b, c, and d form a proportion since
Exercises 1:1.1 Two segments AB and CD are in the ratio 3:5. If CD is longer than AB by 28 cm, how
long is each segment?1.2 The sides of a quadrilateral are in the ratio 2:3:3:4. If the perimeter is 72 cm, find the
length of each side.
1.3 The ratio of the areas of two triangles is 4:7. If the areas differ by 36cm2, find the area of
each triangle.
1.4 The supplement of an angle is 10° less than 3 times its complement. Find the reatio of the
complement to the supplement.

Some Properties of Proportions
2.1 Property 1: In a proportion, the product of the means equals the product of the extremes.
(Product of means equals product of the extremes)
Example: Given
, since , the two ratios are equal and so
is a true proportion.2.2 Definition: If a, b, and c are three numbers such that a:b = b:c, then b is the geometric mean
or mean proportional between a and c.
Example: In the proportion 4:6 = 6:9, 6 is the geometric mean or the mean proportional
between 4 and 9.
2.3 Property 2: The mean proportional or geometric mean of two numbers is the square root of
their product. (Geometric mean of two numbers.)
Examples: If a = 4 and c = 8, what is the geometric mean of a and c?
2.4 Property 3: If the ratios of a proportion are inverted, the result is still a proportion, that is if
a:b = c:d, then b:a = d:c is also a proportion. (Inversion property of proportions)
Example: 3:4 = 9:12 is a proportion, so is 4:3 = 12:9
2.5 Property 4: Interchanging the means or extremes of a proportion results in other proportion,
that is, if
are both proportions. (Exchange of means and
extremes property)
Example: 3:4 = 9:12 is a proportion, so is 12:4 = 9:3.

2.6 Property 5: Adding 1 to or subtracting 1 from both sides of a proportion results in another
proportion, that is if
, then
.
Example: Since 7:5 = 21:15, then
are both
proportions.

3.4 Theorem 7.4: (Areas of between parallel lines): Triangles on the same or equal basesand between the same parallels have equal areas.
3.5 Theorem 7.5: ( with Equal Areas and Bases): If two triangles have equal areas andthey have the same or equal bases, then their altitudes are equal.
3.6
Corollary 7.6: If two triangles have equal areas and the same or equal bases lying on the
same line, then the vertices opposite the bases lie on a line parallel

The Basic of Proportionality
4.1 Definition: Two line segments are divided proportionally when the ratio of the lengths
of the segments into which one is divided is equal to the ratio of the lengths of the
corresponding segments into which the other is divided.

4.2 Theorem 7.7: (Basic Proportionality Theorem): If a line parallel to one side of a
triangle intersects the other two sides, then it divides them proportionally.
4.3 Theorem 7.8 (Converse of the Basic Proportionality Theorem): If a line divides two
sides of a triangle proportionally, the line is parallel to the third side.
4.4 Theorem 7.9 (Proportional Segments Theorem): Parallel lines cut proportional
segments on all transversals.
4.5 Theorem 7.10 (Bisector of an Angle of a Triangle Theorem): The bisector of an angle
of a triangle divides the opposite side into segments proportional to the other two sides
to which they are adjacent.

8 Special Right Triangles
8.1 Theorem 7.16 (Right Triangle Similarity Theorem): In a right triangle, the altitude to
the hypotenuse divides the triangle into two triangles each of which is similar to the
original triangle.
8.2 Corollary 7.17 (Geometric Mean Theorem): In a right triangle, (a) the altitude to the
hypotenuse is the geometric mean to the segments into which it divides the hypotenuse;(b) each leg is geometric mean of the hypotenuse and the segment of the hypotenuse
adjacent to the leg.
8.3 Theorem 7.18 (Pythagorean Theorem): In a right triangle, the square of the
hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two legs.

the squares of two sides is equal to the squares of the third side, then the triangle is a
right triangle.

hypotenuse and the longer leg is
of the length of the hypotenuse.
