Similarity of two triangles does not require that corresponding sides be congruent - only that they be in proportion. Therefore, the inequality of one pair of corresponding sides, as given in Statement 1 alone, is insufficient to prove or disprove that .

However, similarity of two triangles requires that all three pairs of corresponding angles be congruent. Therefore, Statement 2 alone, which establishes that one such pair is noncongruent, proves that .

Assume Statement 1 alone. Rectangle   is not a rhombus, so  or  . Rectangle  is a rhombus, so . Therefore, either 

or 

Either way, the corresponding sides are not in proportion; it follows that .

Assume Statement 2 alone. No information is given about  , so the quantities  and  cannot be proved to be equal or unequal. If they are unequal, since the sides are not in proportion, it follows that . If they are equal, then, since , it follows by the Side-Angle-Side similarity Theorem that .

Assume Statement 1 alone. Since Quadrilateral  is a trapezoid, it follows that ; by the Corresponding Angles Principle, . By reflexivity, . By the Angle-Angle Postulate, .

Assume Statement 2 alone.

Also, by reflexivity, . By the Side-Angle-Side Similarity Theorem, it follows that .

Assume Statement 1 alone.  and  have the same degree measure, so the inscribed angles that intercept these arcs must also have the same degree measure - that is, . Since , both being right angles, this sets up the conditions of the Angle-Angle Postulate, so it follows that .

Assume Statement 2 alone. Major arc  and major arc .   by Statement 2, so 

Again, the inscribed angles that intercept these arcs must also be congruent - that is, . Again, this, along with , prove that  by way of the Angle-Angle Postulate. 

To know the length of the height triangle, we would need to know the lengths of the triangle or the angles to have more information about the triangle.

Statement 1 only gives us a length of a side. There is nothing more we can calculate from what we know so far.

Statement 2 alone tells us that the triangle is isoceles. Indeed, ABC is a right triangle, if one of its angle is 45 degrees, than so must be another. Now, we are able to tell that the length of the height would be the same as half the hypothenuse. A single side would be sufficient to answer the problem. Statment 1 gives us that information. Therefore, both statements together are sufficient.

Since we are told that triangle ABC is a right triangle, to find the height, we just need the length of at least 2 other sides. From there, we can find the length of the height since in a right triangle, the height divides the triangle into two triangles with the same proportions. In other words . Therefore, we need to know the length of the sides of the triangle.

The height of a right triangle will be one of its side lengths.

I) tells us the length of our hypotenuse.

II) gives us the other two angle measurements.

They are both 45 degrees, which makes JKL a 45/45/90 triangle with side length ratios of  .

Which we can use to find the height.

Statement 1: 

More information is required to answer the question because our base and height can be  and  or  and  

Statement 2: We're given the base so we can narrow down the information from Statement 1 to  and . If the base is , then the height must be . 

Both statements taken together are sufficient to answer the question, but neither statement alone is sufficient.

Statement 1: 

Additional information is required because our base and height can be  and ,  and , or  and . 

Statement 2: 

Even if we solve for our two values, we will not be able to determine which is the base and which is the height.

Statements 1 and 2 are not sufficient, and additional data is needed to answer the question.

If Statement 1 is assumed, then by the converse of the Pythagorean Theorem, the triangle is a right triangle with right angle , which is explicitly stated in Statement 2. If  is a right angle, then the other two angles are acute, since a triangle must have at least two acute angles. A right angle measures  and an acute angle measures less, so from either statement, we can deduce that  is the angle with greatest measure.
