On a piece of paper, use a protractor and a ruler to construct two equilateral triangles: one with a side length of 4 inches and one with a side length of 5 inches. which statement is true about the two triangles? (1.the two triangles are the same size and same shape. ) (2.it is impossible to construct equilateral triangles with these side lengths. ) (3.the two triangles are the same size but not the same shape. ) (4.the two triangles are the same shape but not the same size.)

after simplifying it i got: -36.25 as my answer. hope that !

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
