Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Refer to the attached image.
A right triangle is considered so when one of its corners are 90°.
If sides a and b are equal in length, then the corners across from them are equal in size as well.
The only way for this to be possible is if both corners A and B(opposite of sides a and b) are 45°.
Pythagorean theorem
This theorem states that the square of a right triangle's long side is equal to the sum of the squares of the shorter sides.
In this case:

but since:

the equation can be solved by replacing a with b in the equation:

Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
Each ratio is irreducible, and they are different. Hence they are not the same value, so cannot be a proportion. A proportion is two equal ratios.
5 : 3 = 40 : 24
13 : 8 = 39 : 24 . . . . not the same as 40 : 24

<em>Examples of proportions</em>
5/3 = 40/24 . . . is a proportion
13/8 = 39/24 . . . is a proportion
Joan received $17 and 94 cents ($17.94)
$14.20 + $7.86= $22.06 (her total)
$20+$20= $40 (how much she paid with)
$40- $22.06= $17.94
