Question 1064592: Can someone direct me please. Am I doing this correctly.
Draw a right triangle with the base of 2 units and a height of 3 units make three copies so that the length of the new sides are 50% , 300%, and 500% of the original.
My idea is
First triangle 2× 50 and 3× 50
Second triangle 2 × 300 and 3 ×300
Third triangle 2 × 500 and 3× 500

You incorrectly interpret the condition.

The correct interpretation is THIS:

Draw a right triangle with the base of 2 units and a height of 3 units. Make three copies so that the length
of the new sides are half, 3 times, and 5 times of the original.
