Two triangles are said to be [i]twins [/i] if one of them is an image of the other one under a parallel projection. Prove that two triangles are twins if and only if either at least a side of one of them equals a side of another or both the triangles have equal segments that connect the corresponding vertices with some points on the opposite sides which divide these sides in the same ratio.
