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.

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

I think a and d

Answer 3

you can use tangent with this:

you can use tangent in here to find the angle
tan A = horizontal/vertical

Answer 4

actually only 1 is not lying on the same line in here

Answer 5

is it a and d

Answer 6

try to evaluate y/x
5/2 = ?
17.5/7 = ?
compare the resulting value to the values attained for the choices:
A. 10/8 = ?
B. 10/4 = ?
C. 15/6 = ?
D. 25/10 = ?

Answer 7

a and d those r my anwers are they wrong

Answer 8

let's solve it then.
5/2 = 2.5
17.5/7 = 2.5
so the slope of the line is 2.5
let's check the choices:
A. 10/8 = 1.25
B. 10/4 = 2.5
C. 15/6 = 2.5
D. 25/10 = 2.5

Answer 9

so b.c.d ??

Answer 10

yep
