| Each of the four congruent triangles is similar to the original triangle. |
| Consider the Side-Side-Side similarity property. If the corresponding sides of two triangles proportional, then the triangles are similar. Since we have proved that the interior triangles are congruent, they are definitely similar. Lets consider the ratio of the smaller triangle to the larger triangle. a = 1 b = 1 c = 1 Since ½ = ½ = ½ SSS similarity property holds.
