Let $h_a$, $h_b$ and $h_c$ be the altitudes of a triangle $\triangle ABC$ ejected from the vertices $A$,$B$ and $C$, respectively. Similarly, let $h_x$, $h_y$ and $h_z$ be the altitudes of an another triangle $\triangle XYZ$. Show that if $$h_a : h_b : h_c = h_x : h_y : h_z, $$then the triangles $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle XYZ$ are similar.
