"Side Splitter" Theorem (Triangle Proportionality)

Segment DE is parallel to BC and creates triangle ADE from ABC using the scale factor on the slider. You can adjust points A, B and C and the scale factor.
Which ratios are always equivalent? Look at the math behind the ratios. Why won't the parallel segments equal the ratio for the side parts?
