Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This only happens with right triangles. You need only 2 legs. The reason is that the two legs given are the arms of the right angle so secretly you are using SAS. The right angle is enclosed by the two legs, and that must be stated among your givens.
So the answer to the question is true.

hry
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a. x = 7
b. x = 36/5
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Points to remember</u>
The ratio of of corresponding sides of similar triangles are equal.
<u>a). To find the value of x</u>
From the figure 1 we get two similar triangles, ΔABC and ADE
We can write,
AB/AD = AC/AE
3/6 = x/(x + 7)
3(x + 7) = 6 * x
3x + 21 = 6x
6x - 3x = 21
3x = 21
x = 21/3 = 7
<u>b). To find the value of x</u>
From the figure b we get
ΔABC ~ ΔEDF
AB/DE = BC/DF
4/5 = x/9
x = (4 * 9)/5 = 36/5
