Question

Given that A AED and A ABC are right triangles,what value of h proves that ^ AED and A ABC are similar? (T.G.7)(1 point) C h D 3 ft A Aft E 16 feet B (16 feet represents the length of AB) O A. 25 ft OB. 12 ft O c. 5ft O D. 10 ft

Answer 1

we know that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

so

DE/CB=AE/AB

substitute the given values

3/h=4/16

solve for h

3/h=1/4

h=12 ft

therefore

the answer is

h=12 ft option B
