Fan & Medals plz hlp Triangle ABC is similar to triangle CDE. Both are right triangles. Which statements about the two triangles must be true? Choose all answers that are correct. A. Sides AB and BC are proportional to sides CD and DE. B. Side AC has the same slope as side CE. C. Triangle ABC is congruent to triangle CDE. D. Side AC is congruent to side CE. http://static.k12.com/calms_media/media/1503500_1504000/1503538/1/74a161b7e602c6348a4c27b4f2349a7e57480c33/MS_IMC-140523-130907.jpg

c its c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah I got C but i think there is supposed to be more than one

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

the 2 are NOT congruent they are similar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok thnx=D can you help with another

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

if the answer has congruent in it that answer is automatically wrong on a similarity question they have the same slope according to the picture and all of the sides must be proportional to each other or the two triangles are not similar

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 8 units triangle Y: horizontal leg measures 4.5 units vertical leg measures 18 units Which other triangles could also have their hypotenuse on the same line? Choose all answers that are correct. A. horizontal leg measures 3 units, vertical leg measures 12 units B. horizontal leg measures 5 units, vertical leg measures 18 units C. horizontal leg measures 4 units, vertical leg measures 16 units D. Horizontal leg measures 9 units, vertical leg measures 36 units

c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah I got C & A

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

look at the ratio of the triangles they give you they both have a 1:4 ratio horizontal:vertical now look at the answer choices which ones have that same ratio?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Only C have those Ratios but it keeps on asking for more than one answer

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

no what is 3/12 simplified?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thnx so much

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

there are 3 answers for this one did you get all 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (chunkymonkay):

what are the answes to the 2nd one?

OpenStudy (chunkymonkay):

nvm I figured it out its A C and D
