Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area of a triangle is A = (1/2)bh,

For the first triangle we can leave it in general terms, so it's area is

A = (1/2)bh, depending on what b and h are, but it doesn't matter here...

The second triangle has base that is twice the other triangles base.  Bases being multiples of each other is the definition of being proportional so the bases are proportional, an the area of the second triangle is

A = (1/2)(2b)h,   which simplifies to

  A = bh

Comparing the 2 areas, you can see that one has a multiplier of (1/2), so their areas are proportional

Why can 2 obtuse angles make a right triangle please help
djverab [1.8K]
They can NOT.  A right angle is 90°.  An obtuse angle is greater than 90°.  All the angles in a triangle must add up to exactly 180°.  If two angles are greater than 90° then they will add up to greater than 180, beacuse 90 plus 90 equals 180.  You cannot have a triangle with two obtuse angles because they will add up to greater than 180°.
