can't be sure until seeing the problem

ok hold on

anonymous · Answer

In ΔDEF shown below, segment DG is an altitude.
What statement is needed to prove that ΔDEF is similar to ΔGED?

 Segment EF is a hypotenuse.

 Angle E is congruent to itself.

 Segment ED is shorter than segment EF.

 Segment EF is intersected by segment DG.

anonymous · Answer

im guessing its B to make it similar

loser66 · Answer

how to say!! hihihi... all right triangles are similar. They are!!

anonymous · Answer

?

anonymous · Answer

They are right angle triangles therefore through Pythagoras theorem, they are similar

loser66 · Answer

now, I just switch a little bit 
$\triangle FDE $   similar to $\triangle DGE$ because they are right triangles.
now just change the order of the names

anonymous · Answer

but out of the 4 statements which one would you choose

loser66 · Answer

the first one.

loser66 · Answer

Why? because "hypotenuse"  implies the triangle is right triangle. They don't use hypotenuse on the regular triangles

anonymous · Answer

Choose "Segment EF is a hypotenuse."

anonymous · Answer

ok

loser66 · Answer

and we have "DG is an altitude" is a proof of another right triangle
