The Devil's Triangle (Generalized Wooga Looga Theorem)
For any triangle , let and be points on and respectively. Devil's Triangle Theorem, states that if and , then .
(*Simplification found by @Gogobao)
Proofs
Proof 1
Proof by CoolJupiter:
We have the following ratios: .
Now notice that .
We attempt to find the area of each of the smaller triangles.
Notice that using the ratios derived earlier.
Similarly, and .
Thus, .
Finally, we have .
