Extract

To cut up an isosceles triangle so that the parts may be put together to form two triangles similar to the original triangle.

Let ABC be the triangle, having the angles at B and C equal, and let D be the middle point of the base. Draw a circle, passing through A, having its centre on AD, and cutting AB and AC in E and F. Join DE, cutting the circle in G.
