Nested triangles graph

We'll name "nested triangles" a sequence of triangles, the vertices of which lie on the sides of the next one. We note PQR ∈ ABC to say that P lies on AB, Q on BC and R on CA. Two triangles are said "parallel" if their corresponding sides are parallel. Nested triangles build a "parallel sequence" if all triangles with same parity are parallel. This being said, prove that, in any parallel sequence of nested triangles, the areas build a geometric sequence. Specifically with three nested triangles PQR ∈ ABC ∈ VTU and PQR // TUV, area of ABC is geometric mean between areas of PQR and TUV

Area(PQR)Area(TUV) = Area(ABC)²
