20. The sides of one right triangle are 6, 8, and 10. The sides of another right triangle are 10, 24, and 26. Determine if the triangles are similar. If so, what is the ratio of corresponding sides?​

The triangles are not similar because the smallest sides are 6/10 = 3/5, the medium sides are 8/24 = 1/3, and the longest sides are 10/26 = 5/13 and similar triangles must have the same ratio for all three sides.
