O When an altitude is drawn from the right angle in a right triangle it creates two similar triangles.
O When an altitude is drawn from an acute angle in a right triangle it creates three similar triangles.
O When an altitude is drawn from the right angle of a right triangle it creates three similar triangles.
O When an altitude is drawn from an acute angle in a right triangle it creates two similar triangles.

Answer 1

Answer:

C) When an altitude is drawn from the right angle of a right triangle it creates three similar triangles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Inscribed Similar Triangles Theorem states that if an altitude is drawn from the right angle of any right triangle, then the two triangles formed are similar to the original triangle and all three triangles are similar to each other.
