B. Segment h divides triangle ABC into two congruent triangles
C. Segment h divides triangle ABC into two right triangles.
D. a² = b² + c² E. c² = h² + b ² - 2bx + x²

Answer 1

The correct statements are A. Triangle ABC is a right triangle and C. Segment h divides triangle ABC into two right triangles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statements are A. Triangle ABC is a right triangle and C. Segment h divides triangle ABC into two right triangles.

To determine if triangle ABC is a right triangle, we need to check if the square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. This is known as the Pythagorean theorem.

For segment h to divide triangle ABC into two right triangles, it needs to form a right angle with one of the sides of the triangle.
