Algebra.Com's Answer #563141 by jim_thompson5910(35256)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! No, Suzie can create a right triangle with one side being 1 inch, but that isn't enough to make the same right triangle as Ernie's.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We know the side is one inch. So that is the S\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We know that the angle is 90 degree, so that is the A\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "but we need either another angle (A) or another side S where the other side sandwiches the angle between them. If we have 2 angles, we can use AAS or ASA. If we have 2 sides (angle in between), then we can use SAS.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "At this moment in time, we don't have enough info to know if Suzie's triangle is the same as Ernie's triangle.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If you need more one-on-one help, email me at jim_thompson5910@hotmail.com.
