Question

Two right triangles with the following dimensions are graphed with their hypotenuses on the same line: triangle X: Horizontal leg measures 2 units vertical leg measures 5 units triangle Y: Horizontal leg measures 7 units vertical leg measures 17.5 units Which other triangles could also have their hypotenuse on the same line? Choose all answers that are correct. A. horizontal leg measures 8 units, vertical leg measures 10 units B. horizontal leg measures 4 units, vertical leg measures 10 units C. horizontal leg

Answer 1

I replied to your last question if you want to look there.

Answer 2

It didn't make any sense ..

Answer 3

17.5/7 is 2.5
5/2 is 2.5

Answer 4

you are looking for a triangle with the same ratio as above

Answer 5

This is what I commented last on your last question

Answer 6

as I said you just need to think about slopes
compare the vertical/horizontal ratios for each triangle

Answer 7

if you have the same ratio then it is possible the hyp will lie on the same line as the hyp of triangle X and triangle Y

Answer 8

Ah ok thanks so the answers are B, C, and D ?

Answer 9

if the vertical divided by the horizontal is 2.5 then the hyp can lie on the same line
in the format above i can't tell what choice D or choice C is
But Choice B the vertical divided by horizontal is 10/4
and if 10/4 equals 2.5 then yes B is a desired answer choice

Answer 10

A.
horizontal leg measures 8 units, vertical leg measures 10 units

B.
horizontal leg measures 4 units, vertical leg measures 10 units

C.
horizontal leg measures 6 units, vertical leg measures 15 units

D.
horizontal leg measures 10 units, vertical leg measures 25 units
