Triangle A has a bisector. That bisector creates triangle B and triangle C. Will triangles B and C be similar?
If A is a equilateral triangle then yes, but what if it's not?

The answer is YES and NO:
When $\triangle ABC$ is isosceles triangle, $\triangle ABD, \triangle ACD$ are similar (AD is the bisector of $\angle BAC$, and $\angle ABD=\angle ACD$).
When $\triangle ABC'$ is scalene triangle, $\triangle ABD', \triangle AC'D'$ are not similar, (AD' is the bisector of $\angle BAC$, $\angle AC'D' > \angle ACD' =\angle ABD'$ ).
