Create similar right triangles by changing the scale factor of the right triangle. when the scale factor is 1, what is the ratio of the side length of the side opposite ∠a and the length of the hypotenuse? change the scale factor to 3. what is the ratio of the side length of the side opposite ∠a to the length of the hypotenuse? what is the ratio of the side length of the side opposite any 30° angle and the length of the hypotenuse?

18 units²

step-by-step explanation:

first let's find altitude bd using the distance formula

d = √((y₂ - y₁)² + (x₂ - x₁)²)

bd = √((0 - -3)² + (0 - 3)²)

bd = √18

given the placement of points a and c, we can denote that point d bisects segment ac.

we will call ac the base.

using the distance formula

ac = √((0 - 6)² + (-6 - 0)²)

ac = √72

knowing our base and our height, we can plug these into our triangle area formula

area = (b * h)/2

area = (√18 * √72) / 2

area = (√1296) / 2

area = 36 / 2

area = 18 units²
