In the attached diagram I have shown a pink alternative similar 45-45-90 triangle in various orientations and 2 sizes. The green triangle introduces the fact that even more orientations of 45-45-90 triangle are possible. There's a challenge for you! :)
Dear Mathsbuddy,
Great work! First of all, you are perfectly correct in your solution to the original question. The similarity question is so complicated it makes my head spin! As you have so elegantly shown, there are a bewildering number of similar triangles in that diagram, at all kinds of funky angles and orientations. My original question could be a challenging GMAT question, but the similarity question is leagues beyond anything the GMAT would expect. That questions gets into the territory of elite competition mathematics.
Great work overall!
Mike :-)

Hi Mathsbuddy,

Excellent job on this one. Tell me how many minutes it took for you to solve this one (but honestly please)?

Thanks. Less than a minute in my head, then several minutes to type up, followed by a couple of minutes to CHECK in case I had overlooked anything. Afterwards I spent about 10 minutes to consider similar triangles too as an extension. I find that the best spent time is CHECKING TIME, as it's so easy to misread a question, or to make a false assumption, or just make a mistake or two!
