Question 927659
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.


We know the side is one inch. So that is the S


We know that the angle is 90 degree, so that is the A


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.


At this moment in time, we don't have enough info to know if Suzie's triangle is the same as Ernie's triangle.
