Question

Gary is using an indirect method to prove that segment DE is not parallel to segment BC in the triangle ABC shown below:

Answer 1

Answer:

That Ratios aren't equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: DE is || to BC.

So in order to make this false then we have to say that the sides aren't proprtional, making it not possible to get the ratios equal.

(See the Triangle proprtionality theorem or the triangle midsegment theorem)
