Transversal Proportionality Concepts

Julia explains the transversal proportionality theorem, also known as the two transversal proportionality corollary. The theorem states that if two transversals intersect three or more parallel lines, they are divided into proportional segments. Julia demonstrates this with an example, showing how to calculate an unknown segment length using the theorem.
