What is the hypothesis of the statement below?

Question

If two triangles are isosceles right triangles, then they are similar.

Answer 1

the two triangles both have one 90 and two 45 degree angles, which makes them similar

Answer 2

The hypothesis is...

If two triangles are isosceles right traingles

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

An  isosceles right triangle has 45-90-45 angle-measures.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

if triangle A is a 45-90-45 degree triangle and

if triangle B is a 45-90-45 degree triangle

do triangle A and B have the same angle-measures?

Answer 4

When you see "If..., then..." you have to identify the hypothesis is that one anteceded by IF

So in this case the hypothesis is "If two triangles are isosceles right triangles", and the consecution is "then they are similar."

Answer 5

they are similar

Rewritten:

two isosceles right triangles are similar.

Answer 6

The ratios are an invariant property.  The ratios of one triangle will be exactly the same as the other, hence 'similar'.
