The ratios Casey wrote from part (a) of problem 2-58 are ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides of the two shapes. Right Triangle labeled as follows: horizontal leg, 20, vertical leg, 15, angle opposite vertical leg, 1 tick mark, angle opposite horizontal leg, 2 tick marks. Right triangle, is tilted down, with legs labeled, 6, & 8. The angle opposite the 6 side, labeled with 1 tick mark, & angle opposite the 8 side, labeled with 2 tick marks

Calculate the length of the hypotenuse of each triangle. Is the ratio of the hypotenuses equal to the ratios you found in part (a)?
