Basic Proportionality Theorem (BPT) or Thales theorem
A straight line drawn parallel to a side of triangle intersecting the other two sides, divides the sides in the same ratio.
In Δ ABC, D is a point on AB and E is a point on AC.
Draw a line DE || BC
∠ ABC = ∠ADE =∠1 [Corresponding angles are equal because DE || BC]
∠ACB = ∠AED = ∠2 [Corresponding Angel's are equal because DE || BC]
∠DAE = ∠BAE = ∠3 [Both triangles have a common angle]
ΔABC ~ ΔADE
