Draw two examples of different right triangles that could lie on s line with a slope of 2/5

Respuesta :

draw a right angle and left

Answer:

Both right triangles are attached.

To find both similar triangles with a slope of 2/5, we have to remember that slope is related with the tangent of the angle of direction of the line.

So, in each graph, we have angle A, which has the relation:

[tex]tanA=m[/tex]; where [tex]m[/tex] is the slope.

Now, we know by trigonometric reasons that:

[tex]tanA=\frac{opposite \ leg}{adjacent \ leg}=\frac{2}{5}=\frac{4}{10}[/tex]

Where the proportion between triangles is 2.
