Answer: Yes they could.
Step-by-step explanation:
The two pairs of sides given are proportional: 3/7 : 9/21
The two triangles have the side:side ratio, meaning they are similar
Because they are similar, their hypotenuses <em>could</em> lie along the same line, not guaranteed, but possible.
3x -x + 8 + 5x - 2 = 10
3x - x + 5x = 10 -8 +2
7x = 4
x = 7/4
2(y-3) +18
That’s what it looks like
Frist 5 in / 1 over 2 = 2.5
So yes she can do that
