Answer: Yes they can

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagoras rule c²=b²+a²

b²=209

c²=15²=225

a²=4²=16

209+16=225

DerKrebs [107]

Isolate one variable in the system of equations. Use substitution to create a one-variable equation. Then, set the quadratic equation equal to zero and find the discriminant. If the discriminant is negative, then there are no real number solutions. If the discriminant is zero, then there is one real number solution. If the discriminant is positive, then there are two real number solutions.

Answer:

$\large{YES}\ \dfrac{BC}{YZ}=\dfrac{AC}{XY}=\dfrac{AB}{XZ}=\dfrac{2}{1}\\\\\text{and}\ \angle B\cong\angle Z,\ \angle C\cong\angle Y,\ \angle A\cong\angle X$

Step-by-step explanation:

$BC\to ZY\\AB\to XZ\\AC\to XY\\\angle A\to\angle X\\\angle B\to\angle Z\\\angle C\to\angle Y$

$\text{We have:}\\\\\triangle ABC:\ AB=20,\ BC=12,\ AC=18\\\triangle XZY:\ XZ=10,\ YZ=6,\ XY=9\\\\\text{check the ratio:}\\\\\dfrac{AB}{XZ}=\dfrac{20}{10}=2\\\\\dfrac{BC}{YZ}=\dfrac{12}{6}=2\\\\\dfrac{AC}{XY}=\dfrac{18}{9}=2\\\\\text{CORRECT :)}\\\\\angle B\cong\angle Z,\ \angle C\cong\angle Y\\\\\text{We know that: The sum of the acute angles in a right triangle is}\ 90^o.\\\\m\angle B+m\angle A=90^o\ \text{and}\ m\angle Z+m\angle X=90^o$
