Geometric language: I don't have a drawing tool installed on this computer. You can draw:
Draw three straight lines, A, B a, B, c d, which are roughly horizontal.
Draw two more straight lines, m and n in figure 8.
Let a and m intersect at a, and n intersect at d,
B and m intersect at b, n intersects at e,
C and m intersect at c, n intersects at f,
If AB :BC = DE :EF, then A is parallel to B and C is parallel.
Or if AB :AC = DE :DF, then a is parallel to b and c is parallel.
Or it can be written in other forms. It's in the book.
Of course, graphics can also be drawn in various ways.
If AB :BC = DE :EF, then A is parallel to B and C is parallel.
In this regard, I often think that if the top left: bottom left = top right: bottom right, the three lines are parallel.
Or if AB :AC = DE :DF, then a is parallel to b and c is parallel.
In this regard, it is often remembered that if top left: left all = top right: right all, the three lines are parallel.
Also: if bottomleft: leftall = bottomright: rightall, then these three lines are parallel.
