This answer illustrates a typical use case, when "thinking-imperative programmer" ask a question about functional language... The suggested solution: ask in top level.

"Similar" has a specific geometric/triangle technical meaning, that via combining zoom, rotate, slide and/or flip an object exactly covers another. But you use it to mean everyday "close in shape". Your expert knows they the start & end shapes are not technically similar but merely "close in shape". So it would be better if you used "close in shape" & not "similar". What people assume is that there are 2 small & 1 large technically similar triangles & the puzzle arises from the fact that there are only 2 triangles--the small ones--& they're not technically similar.
