 mean ?
 segments  DE and BC are congruent
 segments DE and BC are parallel
what do the black arrows
If a segment (DE) is parallel to one side of a ∆ (BC)

If a segment (DE) is parallel to one side of a ∆ (BC)
Then it divides the other two sides (AC and AB)
proportionally (one fraction equals another).
If a segment (DE) is parallel to one side of a ∆ (BC)
