Answer 11

how?

Answer 12

yes ask him

Answer 13

(3,4,5) is a right triangle, right?

Answer 14

and it is exactly your ABC

Answer 15

Hence it cannot be the answer.

Answer 16

alright got that part

Answer 17

Hence, your ABC is a right triangle with the sides (3,4,5)
Therefore, the first option is NOT correct since it is congruent to ABC

Answer 18

Now, 3*(3,4,5) = (9,12,15) is only solution

Answer 19

It makes your triangle 3 times larger than it is and similar to the original one.
