Parallel/Proportionality Conjecture
If a line parallel to one side of a triangle passes through the other two sides, then it divides the other two sides proportionally. (This ratio is not the scale factor between the triangles)Conversely, if a line cuts two sides of a triangle proportionally, then it is parallel to the third side.
