Math Problem Statement
Consider the following procedure in generating triangles. Begin with Triangle 1 𝐴𝐵𝐶. The length of each side of Triangle 2 𝐸𝐹𝐺 is half of the corresponding side of Triangle 1: 𝐴𝐵 𝐸𝐹
𝐵𝐶 𝐹𝐺
𝐴𝐶 𝐸𝐺 = 2. Repeat the process for all remaining triangles. Prove that Triangles 1 and 2 are similar.
