Answer:

The triangles can be congruent but not always.

The triangles do not have to be congruent, but they have to be similar.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached diagram with this answer.

For any line (say OP), if you draw two right triangles ( Δ ABC and Δ A'B'C') using the line, OP as the hypotenuse, then the triangles can be congruent. This will be only when AC = A'C'.

That means if we draw two right triangles using the same length of a straight line as hypotenuse, then only the two right triangles will be congruent.

Now, If AC = A'C' then automatically, it becomes AB = A'B' and BC = B'C' and then by SSS criteria, the triangles Δ ABC and Δ A'B'C' will be congruent i.e. Δ ABC ≅ Δ A'B'C'.

But the triangles Δ ABC and Δ A'B'C' do not have to be congruent but they have to be similar.

Because, \frac{A'B'}{AB} = \frac{B'C'}{BC} = \frac{A'C'}{AC}

If this ratio becomes 1 : 1 then only those triangle will be congruent otherwise they will be similar only. (Answer)

Which expression is equivalent? 8(3x − 6) A) 24x + 48 B) 24x − 48 C) −24x + 48 D) −24x − 48
Irina18 [472]
If this is distributive property, you would change 8(3x-6) to 8(3)x-8(6) and another way to say that is 24x-48 so it would be b and for d there are two negative signs which would equal positive so b and d

1 matrix question help (with picture)
Dominik [7]

Answer:

  a = 9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the equation to be true, the value of the scalar multiplier must be ...

  15/3 = -10/-2 = 35/7 = 5

So, you're solving ...

  (2/3)a + 2 = 5

  (2/3)a = 3 . . . . . . subtract 2

  a = 9/2 . . . . . . . . multiply by 3/2
