Question

Two right triangles with the following dimensions are graphed with their hypotenuses on the same line:

triangle X:
horizontal leg measures 4 units
vertical leg measures 5 units

triangle Y:
horizontal leg measures 6 units
vertical leg measures 7.5 units

Which other triangles could also have their hypotenuse on the same line?

Choose all answers that are correct.

A.Horizontal leg measures 8 units, vertical leg measures 10 units

B.Horizontal leg measures 3 units, vertical leg measures 3.75 units

C.Horizontal leg measures 10 units, vertical leg measures 12 units

D.Horizontal leg measures 12 units, vertical leg measures 15 units

Answer 1

A, B, and D

Explanation:

Answer 2

Triangle X: 4/5=0.8
Triangle Y: 6/7.5=0.8
(Select the triangles with legs at a ratio of 0.8)

A: 8/10=0.8
B: 3/3.75=0.8
C: 10/12=0.8333333333
D: 12/15=0.8

A, B, and D

I must add though, the wording of this question is very bad.
