Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
given that the side of the square is 4a
The expression for the area can be solved by
1. subtracting 5 from the sides of the square i.e (4a-5)
2. Solving for the area of the square using
opening the bracket and expending we have
the expression is
Virtually every time you try this stunt, the new triangles
are NOT similar.
Example:
Triangle A₀ . . . legs = 3 and 4; hypotenuse = √25 = 5 .
Triangle B₀ . . . legs = 6 and 8; hypotenuse = √100 = 10 .
Ratio of short legs = 6/3 = 2
Ratio of long legs = 8/4 = 2
Ratio of hypotenuses = 10/5 = 2
The triangles are similar.
Add 1 unit to all legs:
Triangle A₁ . . . legs = 4 and 5; hypotenuse = √41
Triangle B₁ . . . legs = 7 and 9; hypotenuse = √130
Ratio of short legs = 7/4 = 1.75
Ratio of long legs = 9/5 = 1.8
Ratio of hypotenees = √(130/41) = 1.78 .
New triangles are NOT similar.
I think this ONLY works when the original triangles are
congruent, so the ratio of their similarity is 1:1.
When each leg of both triangles is extended by the same
amount, they are still congruent.
But the question stipulates that they are NOT congruent.
So the answer to the question is: No. Never.
