Question

question 18 of 25 two right triangles that are not similar still may have one congruent acute angle in common. a. true b. false

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Similarity of right - triangles requires that the ratios of their corresponding sides are equal and their corresponding angles are congruent. Just having one congruent acute angle in two right - triangles does not mean they are similar. For example, one right - triangle could have acute angles 30° and 60°, and another right - triangle could have one 30° acute angle and a 50° acute angle (the other being 40°). So two non - similar right - triangles can have one congruent acute angle.

Answer:

A. True
