If a 
right triangle is similar to a 
right triangle, which of the other triangles must also be a similar triangle?
If a
For the triangles to be similar, the dimensions of all sides must have the same ratio by dividing the 3-4-5 triangle.
The 6-8-10 triangle will have a scale factor of 2 since all dimensions are doubled the original 3-4-5 triangle.
The only correct answer that will yield similar ratios is the 
triangle with a scale factor of 4 from the 3-4-5 triangle.
The other answers will yield different ratios.

What is the main difference between a right triangle and an isosceles triangle?
What is the main difference between a right triangle and an isosceles triangle?
By definition, a right triangle has to have one right angle, or a 
angle, and an isosceles triangle has 
equal base angles and two equal side lengths.
By definition, a right triangle has to have one right angle, or a
