I will try to guess what you want: 

     Theorem

     If a straight line connecting two sides of a triangle is parallel to its third side  then the straight line divides these sides proportionally.

If my guess is right, then see the lesson
    -Straight line in a triangle parallel to its side cuts off proportional segments in two other sides
in this site.


Also,  you have this free of charge online textbook on Geometry

in this site.

The referred lesson is the part if this textbook under the topic
"Parallel lines cutting off transverse lines in congruent or proportional segments".
