Answer:

It is impossible to draw two different triangles with these criteria.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3,4,5 triangle is a Pythagorean triplet, but if it was said to be 6,8,10, then yes two different triangles can be made, same with any other multiple of a 3,4,5 right triangle. The 3,4,5 triangle is in its reduced form causing there to be no other triangles that can be made that still function as a triangle through the theorem of triangles where the hypotenuse has to be bigger than either side length.
