The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the statement "Two isosceles right triangles are similar" is true or false, we can analyze the properties of isosceles right triangles step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Definition of Isosceles Right Triangles An isosceles right triangle is a triangle that has: - Two sides of equal length (the legs). - One right angle (90 degrees). - The other two angles are equal and each measures 45 degrees. ### Step 2: Identify the Angles in Isosceles Right Triangles In any isosceles right triangle: - The angles are always 45 degrees, 45 degrees, and 90 degrees. - This means that regardless of the size of the triangle, the angles remain the same. ### Step 3: Apply the Criteria for Similarity For two triangles to be similar, they must have: - Corresponding angles that are equal. - This can be established through the Angle-Angle (AA) criterion for similarity. ### Step 4: Conclusion on Similarity Since all isosceles right triangles have the same angle measures (45°, 45°, 90°), we can conclude that: - Any two isosceles right triangles will have their corresponding angles equal. Thus, the statement "Two isosceles right triangles are similar" is **True**. ### Final Answer **True** ---
