Answer:

An equilateral triangle cannot be similar to a right triangle, whereas an isosceles triangle can be similar to a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle must have a 90º angle, so it cannot be equilateral in side length and angle since the figure would no longer be a triangle.

Isosceles triangles have two same sides, so two equal angles. A right triangle can be a 45º, 45º, and 90º.

In isosceles triangle the length of a leg is 17 cm, and the base is 16 cm. Find the length of the altitude to the base.

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

altitude = 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

you can use the Pythagorean Theorem where you have a right triangle with a base of 8 (half of 16), a hypotenue of 17, and the altitude is 'a'

a² + 8² = 17²

a² + 64 = 289

a² = 225

a = $\sqrt{225}$

a = 15

Jeff drinks 2/3 of a glass of juice. Write a fraction equivalent to 2/3

Rufina [12.5K]

A fraction that means the same as 2/3 is 4/6.

To find this, you can simply multiple both the numerator and denominator (top and bottom) by any number as long as it's the same number for both top and bottom.
In this case, we used 2 as the number, and multipled it to the top and bottom of 2/3, to get 4/6.

I hope this helps!
