OpenStudy (phi):

if you divide a right triangle that way you form two "smaller" right triangles It turns out those two triangles are similar to each other and similar to the original big triangle.

OpenStudy (ilovebmth1234):

in choice A the "sign" means congruent (exactly the same size and shape) none of the triangles are the same size, but they are the same shape (and different sizes)
