The sides of a triangle are 6,8, and 10.The sides of another triangle are 10,24,and 26,are they same

Question

The real question: The sides of a right triangle are 6,8, and 10. The sides of another right triangle are 10,24, and 26. Determine if the triangles are similar. If so, what is the ratio of corresponding sides?

Answer

6/10 = 3/5
8/24 = 1/3
10/26 = 5/13

If they were similar, all three of those would reduce to the same fraction.
