Right triangle ABC with leg lengths of 8 and 15 has a
hypotenuse of length 17. Triangle XY Z has side lengths
8n, 15n, and 17n. Nina thinks that Triangle XY Z is also a
right triangle.
Is Nina correct?
Choose one option from each drop-down menu to explain.
Triangle XYZ is similar
v to Triangle ABC because corresponding side lengths are congruent
In Triangles ABC and XY Z, corresponding angles are congruent
So, Triangle XYZ has
v a right angle.
Nina is correct
