Question

Which statement BEST explains why the slope of each line segment formed by the hypotenuse of each triangle is the same?

A)
The triangles are similar.
B)
The triangles are congruent.
C)
The triangles share a point.
D)
The triangles are right triangles.

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

Two triangles can be similar if their leg lengths are in proportion with each other, regardless of size. Since the triangles are the same in different sizes, they are similar. The hypotenuse of the triangles isn't the same, but the angles are the same, so the hypotenuse will still follow the same line.
