Question

(One triangle on a graph has a vertical side of 3 and a horizontal side of 4. Another triangle on a graph has a vertical side of 9 and a horizontal side of 12. Could the hypotenuses of these two triangles lie along the same line? No, because they need to be the same size No, because they are not similar triangles Yes, because they are similar triangles Yes, because all triangles can fit along this line

Answer 1

Yes because they are similar triangles.

Explanation:

I'm taking the test I'm pretty sure it's right because I graphed it but I'll let you know :))

Answer 2

Yes because they are similar triangles.

Explanation:

The corresponding sides are in the same ratio:

3/9 = 4/12 and there is a right angle between the 2 pairs of sides so the triangles are similar.

The third choice is the correct one.
