One triangle on a graph has a vertical side of 7 and a horizontal side of 12. Another triangle on a graph has a vertical side of 28 and a horizontal side of 48. Could the hypotenuses of these two triangles lie along the same line? Yes, because they are similar triangles Yes, because all triangles can fit along this line No, because they need to be the same size No, because they are not similar triangles

I do believe I helped with the question before (or was it someone else).

@OtherWorldly you can not be giving the answers away, you must help the owlet so that they may understand the question and how to solve. This is in violation of the code of conduct. Please refrain from this in the future.

i think it was you .... but you said b not A

563blackghost (563blackghost):

I do believe I said `They can lie on the same line due to the fact they are similar triangles`. `They dilate by a factor of 4 so with that said they are similar triangles so, Yes, the hypotenuses of these two triangles can lie along the same line because they are similar triangles.` http://openstudy.com/users/volleyballlover55#/updates/58236bb5e4b02b438219369f

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

ok so is it A or B?

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Read it carefully. `Yes, the hypotenuses of these two triangles can lie along the same line because they are similar triangles.` The question asks `can they lie on the same line?` I told `Yes because they are similar` the explanation contains the answer.

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

so A?

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Yes it is A.

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

ok
