(05.02)One triangle on a graph has a vertical side of 5 and a horizontal side of 11. Another triangle on a graph has a vertical

side of 15 and a horizontal side of 33.
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 all triangles can fit along this line
Yes, because they are similar triangles

Answer:

The answer is the option

Yes, because they are similar triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The first and the second triangle are right triangles

The hypotenuses of these two triangles could lie along the same line, if the two triangles were similar

Verify if the triangles are similar

Remember that

If two triangles are similar then

the ratio of their corresponding sides is equal

so

$\frac{5}{15}=\frac{11}{33}$

simplify

$\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{3}$ --------> is rue

therefore

the triangles are similar

and the answer is

Yes, because they are similar triangles

Given: ΔABC ≅ ΔEDF

V125BC [204]

we know that

the triangle ABC and triangle EDF are congruent triangles-----> given problem

therefore

$AC=EF\\AB=ED\\BC=DF$

we know that

the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

Step $1$

<u>Find the distance AB</u>

$A(0,1)\\B(0,2)$

substitute in the formula of the distance

$d=\sqrt{(2-1)^{2}+(0-0)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(1)^{2}+(0)^{2}}$

$dAB=1\ unit$

Step $2$

<u>Find the distance BC</u>

$B(0,2)\\C(3,2)$

substitute in the formula of the distance

$d=\sqrt{(2-2)^{2}+(3-0)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(3)^{2}}$

$dBC=3\ units$

Step $3$

<u>Find the distance AC</u>

we know that

the triangle ABC is a right triangle

so

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$AC^{2}=AB^{2} +BC^{2}$

substitute the values in the formula

$AC^{2}=1^{2} +3^{2}$

$AC=\sqrt{10}\ units=3.16\ units$

round to the nearest tenth

$AC=3.2\ units$

therefore

$EF=3.2\ units$

$ED=1\ unit$

$DF=3\ units$

<u>the answer is</u>

The length of the hypotenuse is equal to $3.2\ units$

How do you solve for y?

Rashid [163]

Hi there!

In order to solve for y, we need to divide each side by -5/4.

30 ÷ -5/4
= 30 × -4/5
= -120/5
= -24

y = -24

Hope this helps!
