To answer this question, you need to know that a scale factor is the relationship between one dimension of the shape.
Because the information given to us is a two-dimensional measurement, you will need to consider that when getting the answer.
The ratios of the areas of the triangles is 3/5 x 3/5 or 9/25.
To determine the area of the larger triangle, you will solve the following equation using the information you know. x is the area of the larger triangle.
9/25x = 576; solve for x by dividing both sides by 9/25
x = 1600 square inches
The area of the larger triangle is 1600 square inches.
The set of side measurements that could be used to form a right triangle is 3, 4 and 5 option (D) is correct.
What is a right-angle triangle?
It is a triangle in which one of the angles is 90 degrees and the other two are sharp angles. The sides of a right-angled triangle are known as the hypotenuse, perpendicular, and base.
It is given that:
The side length of the triangle is shown in the option:
As we know,
Pythagoras' theorem is the square of the hypotenuse in a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
Using Pythagoras' theorem:
From option(D):
3, 4 and 5
(3)² + (4)² = 5²
9 + 16 = 25 (True)
Thus, the set of side measurements that could be used to form a right triangle is 3, 4 and 5 option (D) is correct.

Hi! i think it’s d, just by process of elimination!! it cant be any of the others, and d estimates to be right.
Try this option:
1. the sides of the biggest triangle are 16; x and √(16²-x²); the sides of the smallest triange are x;5 and y. The smallest triangle ~ the biggest triangle. Using the property of the similar triangles:

2. according to the Pyphagorean theorem (in the smallest triangle):

answer: y=√55.
