Question

PLS HELP!!! Will give medal!

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?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

looks like you need to figure out the slope of the line on the graph.

Answer 3

Ok

Answer 4

Pythagorean theorem c^2=a^2+b^2.
for both of the dimensions you have.

Answer 5

I'm in 8th grade... I don't think I know that yet.

Answer 6

i thought i was supposed to use y2-y1/x2-y1=m or slope

Answer 7

you can use equations like that to solve the slope yes, but just from what I know. is a tad bit easier to work with, but let me see.

Answer 8

ok. thx.

Answer 9

I think A,C, and D are right

Answer 10

i imagine if you used your equation on both of them thinking of them this way you find a slope between the two.

Answer 11

using horizontal as x coordinates and vertical for y

Answer 12

ok. thx!

Answer 13

do you know that that is probably confusing. best bet is to graph them all on the same graph if you get stuck. goodlucky

Answer 14

ok.
