On a piece of paper use a protractor and a ruler to construct two equilateral triangles one with a side lenght of 3 inches and one with a side lenght of 4 inches which statement is ture about the two triangles ?

898.1666667

step-by-step explanation:

5389/6 = 898.1666667

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
