5. ∠PAT = ∠BTP 5. Substitution property
6. ΔPAT ~ ΔPTB 6. AA similarity postulate
The Angle-Angle, AA, similarity postulate states that two triangles are similar if two angles in one triangle are each equal to two angles in the other triangle.

6. BPT, Basic Proportionality Theorem
Basic Proportionality Theorem, BPT, states that if a line parallel to one of the sides of a triangle, intersects the other two sides, then the line divides the other two sides in the same proportion.
