Two right triangles are graphed on a coordinate plane. One triangle has a vertical side of 4 and a horizontal side of 10. The other triangle has a vertical side of 12 and a horizontal side of 30.

Could the hypotenuses of these two triangles lie along the same line?

No, because they are not similar triangles

No, because one is larger than the other

Yes, because they are similar triangles

Yes, because they are both right triangles
