True. The only area where a line parallel to one side would be able to intersect both other sides would be in a place that proportionally divides the other sides.

Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the statement,

'A line parallel to one side of a triangle and intersecting the other two sides, divides the other two sides proportionally'.

We see that the given statement is the 'Triangle Proportionality Theorem'.

i.e. Triangle Proportionality Theorem - 'If a line is parallel to one side of a triangle and intersects the other two sides, then it divides the other two sides proportionally'.

Hence, the given statement is true.
