Question

Write a proportion relating the side lengths of the triangle to any other triangle that has the line as a hypotenuse, a horizontal length of x units, and a vertical length of y units.

Answer 1

Answer:

• y/x = 2 or y = 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle has:

• Vertical segment = 2 units
• Horizontal segment = 1 unit

The ratio (slope) is:

• 2/1 = 2

For any triangle using same line the proportion is:

• y/x = 2 or
• y = 2x
