I guess, the BPT is used in Tiles & Painting and so on...
It can be useful as paintings, tiles & many other things as such require precision & BPT helps to make sure that its in proportional.
The theorem states that when a line is drawn parallel to one side of the triangle (inside it) it divides the other two sides of the same triangle in equal proportions. Similar is the Converse and it proves true.
BPT stands for Basic Proportionality Theorem & was discovered by Thales.
I hope this satisfies your question.

JudyOh, dude, the Basic Proportionality Theorem is like that friend who always shows up uninvited but somehow ends up being useful. It's basically a fancy way of saying that if you have parallel lines intersecting a triangle, the sides of the triangle are divided proportionally. So, next time you're out there trying to figure out how to split a Pizza equally among your friends, just remember this theorem and impress everyone with your math skills.
Ah, the Basic Proportionality Theorem is like a happy little tree in the forest of mathematics. You see, it helps us understand how lines are divided by parallel lines in triangles. Just like when we paint a beautiful landscape, this theorem helps us create balance and harmony in our geometric designs. So, whether you're building a bridge or planning a garden, remembering this theorem can help you create beauty and balance in the world around you.

Application of basic proportionality theorem in daily life?
Everyone pays the same fare on a train journey. The total amount is proportional to the number of people on the train.
What uses the pathagorean theorem in real life?
You work as a house painter. When you set up your ladder, you like to set the base 5-ft from the wall, for stability. How high on the wall can you reach with a 12-ft ladder ? With a 15-ft ladder ? With a 30-ft ladder ? ============================================================== The question is not: Can the Pythagorean Theorem help you in real life ? The question is: Is your life real enough yet that you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to make it easier ?

In what ways is the Pythagorean Theorem useful?
In real life its not useful, unless you're going to need geometry in the career you choose.
Difference between a theorem and lemma?
Theorem: A mathematical statement that is proved using rigorous mathematical reasoning. In a mathematical paper, the term theorem is often reserved for the most important results. Lemma: A minor result whose sole purpose is to help in proving a theorem. It is a stepping stone on the path to prove a theorem. The distinction is rather arbitrary since one mathematician's major is another's minor claim. Very occasionally lemmas can take on a life of their own (Zorn's lemma, Urysohn's lemma, Burnside's lemma, Sperner's lemma).
