Continuing her programme of providing common algebraic proofs of generalizations of Euclidean theorems that hold in all three affine Cayley-Klein planes (i.\ e.\ in Euclidean, in isotropic (Galilean), and in Minkowski planes), the author proves that several theorems (generalizing the so-called ``propeller theorem'' of Euclidean geometry) of the following type hold in all three affine Cayley-Klein planes: Let \(OA_1A_2\), \(B_2OB_1\), and \(C_1C_2O\) be three similar triangles. (i) Let \(M,N,P\) be the midpoints of the segments \(B_2C_1\), \(C_2A_1\), \(A_2B_1\), respectively. Then the triangle \(MNP\) is similar to the given triangles \(OA_1A_2\), \(B_2OB_1\), \(C_1C_2O\). (ii) Let \(M_0, N_0, P_0\) be the centroids of the triangles \(OB_2C_1\), \(OC_2A_1\), \(OA_2B_1\), respectively. Then the triangle \(M_0N_0P_0\) is also similar to the given triangles \(OA_1A_2\), \(B_2OB_1\), \(C_1C_2O\).
