Whats the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hold up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

Directrix (directrix):

Any right triangle with a vertical leg to horizontal leg ratio of 8/2 = 4/1 could be on the same line.

Directrix (directrix):

The two triangles already on the line has vertical leg to horizontal leg ratios of 8/2 and 18/4.5 both of which reduce to 4 to 1.

Directrix (directrix):

Of your options, 12/3, 18/5, 16/4, and 36/9, which simplify to 4/1 ? @acjoslyn2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK hold up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12/3 is one of them?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not 18/5

Directrix (directrix):

12/3 is one of them? 12/3 = 4/1 Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16/4?

Directrix (directrix):

Right. There is one more.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

36/9 obviously

Directrix (directrix):

Yes, that is the third one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YAY! thank you so much

Directrix (directrix):

You are welcome.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you please stay online just incase?
