We've learned a lost about proportions this unit. In this lesson, we will further our knowledge. But first, a brainteaser.....
Look at the diagram of triangle ABC. DE divides sides AB and BC proportionally. Students are asked to find the value of EC.
Beth sets up her proportions as AD/DB = AE/EC.
Drew sets his proportions up as BD/DA = CE/EA.
Mark sets his proportions up as DB/AB = EC/AC.
