sphere.

4. SIMILARITY.
Two figures are Similar if they are identical in shape, but not in size.
If one figure can become another using Resizing (also called dilation,
contraction, compression, enlargement or even expansion), then the figures are
similar. When you resize a figure it gets bigger or smaller, but it still looks similar.
4.1. TRIANGLES.
If two triangles have two of their angles equal, the triangles are similar.
If two triangles have two pairs of sides in the same ratio and the included angles are
also equal, then the triangles are similar.
If two triangles have three pairs of sides in the same ratio, then the triangles are
similar
If a line is drawn Parallel to one side of a triangle, the smaller triangle and the
larger triangle are similar.
You can say that the triangles AB0 and AB0 are in Thales Position.
