Question

Given is a pair of similar triangles with some dimensions specified. Find the measures of the other sides. a = 6, b = 3, and c = 5.

(Hint: use the Pythagorean Theorem for some of the measures since you have a right triangle.)

The image shows two right triangles sharing a common angle at point \( E \).

### Description:

- **Triangles:**
- Larger Triangle: \( \triangle EFI \)
- Smaller Triangle: \( \triangle EGH \)

- **Compartments and Symbols:**
- The side \( EF \) is perpendicular to \( FI \) at point \( F \).
- The side \( GH \) is perpendicular to \( HI \) at point \( H \).
- **Labeling:**
- \( EF = c \)
- \( GH = b \)
- \( EI = a \)

### Observations:

- **Right Angles:**
- \( \angle EFG \) and \( \angle GHI \) are right angles.

- **Shared Sides:**
- \( EG \) is a common side to both triangles.

### Notes:

The figure illustrates the geometric properties and similarities between the triangles. It demonstrates basic principles of triangle congruence and similarity which are fundamental in trigonometry and geometry.

Polygon with three sides, three angles, and three vertices. Based on the properties of each side, the types of triangles are scalene (triangle with three three different lengths and three different angles), isosceles (angle with two equal sides and two equal angles), and equilateral (three equal sides and three angles of 60°). The types of angles are acute (less than 90°); obtuse (greater than 90°); and right (90°).
