Hey Deb,
yes i got what u trying to interpret from the logic.
1) the situation u described need not be similar triangles, as for 2 triangles to be similar atleast two angles should be equal.
Mostly the test takers(specially in GMAT and MGMAT questions) will describe a situation which i have seen mostly is:
There is a triangle ABC right anlgd at B suppose.From B we draw a perpndicular to base AC at point D.Then the three traingles which are all right angled are similar to each other.
The above mentioned point is a very good catch.Will save time if u rmbr ths concept.
+1 kudo if my post helped.
