2. Similarity (geometry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Similarity_(geometry)

   Any two equilateral triangles are similar. Two triangles, both similar to a third triangle, are similar to each other (transitivity of similarity of triangles). Corresponding altitudes of similar triangles have the same ratio as the corresponding sides. Two right triangles are similar if the hypotenuse and one other side have lengths in the ...

3. Triangle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle

   Two triangles are said to be similar, if every angle of one triangle has the same measure as the corresponding angle in the other triangle. The corresponding sides of similar triangles have lengths that are in the same proportion, and this property is also sufficient to establish similarity. [39] Some basic theorems about similar triangles are:

4. Desargues's theorem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desargues's_theorem

   This proves Desargues's theorem if the two triangles are not contained in the same plane. If they are in the same plane, Desargues's theorem can be proved by choosing a point not in the plane, using this to lift the triangles out of the plane so that the argument above works, and then projecting back into the plane.

5. Similarity system of triangles - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Similarity_System_of_Triangles

   The triangles that make up configurations are known as component triangles. [1] Triangles must not only be a part of a configuration set to be in a similarity system, but must also be directly similar. [1] Direct similarity implies that all angles are equal between two given triangle and that they share the same rotational sense. [2]

6. Homothetic center - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homothetic_center

   Figure 1: The point O is an external homothetic center for the two triangles. The size of each figure is proportional to its distance from the homothetic center. In geometry, a homothetic center (also called a center of similarity or a center of similitude) is a point from which at least two geometrically similar figures can be seen as a dilation or contraction of one another.

7. Sierpiński triangle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierpiński_triangle

   (Holes are an important feature of Sierpiński's triangle.) Repeat step 2 with each of the smaller triangles (image 3 and so on). This infinite process is not dependent upon the starting shape being a triangle—it is just clearer that way. The first few steps starting, for example, from a square also tend towards a Sierpiński triangle.
