Question

Can someone help me please???!

Answer 1

Answer:

1) Yes, it is a right angle triangle

2)Yes, it is a right angle triangle

3) No, they are not similar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimension of triangle A = 48, 55 & 73

Dimension of triangle B = 36, 77 & 85

For any of the triangles to be a right angled one, then;

c = √(a² + b²)

Where a,b & c are side dimensions of a triangle.

Thus;

Triangle A: c = √(48² + 55²)

c = √5329

c = 73

This tallies with what we are given and so it is a right angled triangle.

Triangle B: c = √(36² + 77²)

c = √(7225)

c = 85

Similar to the third side dimension of 85, thus it is true.

For Triangle A & B to be similar, the ratio of the 3 corresponding sides must be in a whole number ratio.

Thus, we have;

48/36 = 1.5

55/77 = 5/7

73/85 = 73/85

Since the ratios are not similar, then we can say that the triangles are not similar.
