Answer 2

Use the Pythagorean triples on the bigger triangle and you will find out the congruency of the triangle.

Answer 3

How?

Answer 4

Find the common factor of the given sides of the bigger triangle

Answer 5

Notice that a6 and 12 has the common factor of 4. So you divide the given sides to 4.

Answer 6

If the answers are 3 and 4, then the last side is 5.

Answer 7

Then you multiply 4 to 5 to get the last side of the bigger triangle. Now, you know that they are similar.

Answer 8

Remember: sides 3, 4 & 5 are for the small triangle and sides 12, 16, & 20 are for the bigger triangle

Answer 9

Im trying to figure out which postulate this goes by.
