the line that's bisecting the right-angle above, drops down to make 2 right-angles with the bottom as shown in the BIGGER triangle

the 2 SMALLER triangles it makes are SIMILAR, that is, they have a common ratio with the BIGGER containing triangle

so the sides of all 3 guys, are really related since they share a ratio
