Is a trapezoid a triangle?
No, trapezoids are quadrilaterals, they have 4 sides. Triangles have 3 sides.
When you decomposed a rectangle into two shapes can you get a square and a trapezoid?
No.You either get a square and a rectangle, two squares, two triangles or two trapezoids.
What is the difference between triangles and trapezoids?
Triangles have three sides while trapezoids are quadrilaterals with four sides. Trapezoids have one set of parallel lines. Triangles do not have any sets of parallel lines.
How any triangles in a trapezoid?
There can be any number of triangles in a trapezoid. It all depends on the size of the triangles and the size of the trapezoid.
Can a trapezoids obtuse triangles?
Yes a trapezoid can have 2 obtuse angles and 2 acute angles whereas its 4 interior angles add up to 360 degrees.
How many trapezoids in a hexagon?
Well, honey, a hexagon has six sides, so technically you can fit six trapezoids in there if you get creative with your shapes. But if you're talking about how many trapezoids can fit perfectly inside a hexagon without overlapping, then the answer is zero. Hexagons and trapezoids are like apples and oranges, they just don't fit together like that.
What shape do you get when you cut a trapaziod in half?
Depending upon exactly where the cut is made (and the shape/type of the original trapezoid), a trapezoid cut into two pieces [of equal area] can result in: 1: two trapezoids 2: a trapezoid and a parallelogram 3: a trapezoid and a [general] quadrilateral 4: a parallelogram and a triangle 5: two triangles.
What is the fewest number of triangles that make up a trapezoid?
The fewest number of triangles that make up a trapezoid are two isosceles triangles.
Which figures out of Triangles Trapezoids squares or pentagons have the same number of lines of symmetry?
triangles
Are trapezoids always similar?
Most of the time trapezoids are similar but in some cases they are not Depends on what you call "similar." In mathematics, "similar" triangles have the same angles, but differ in size. One might be a shrunken version of the other. In that case, they are usually not. The only requirement for a trapezoid is the four sides with either pair of sides being parallel. So, yes, a square is a trapezoid as well. Try this: Draw two parallel lines. Now draw two lines connecting them anywhere you want. The enclosed area is the trapezoid. Can you see how there are an infinite number of trapezoids you can make?
Can a cut be made between two parallel sides of an isosceles trapezoid to make two isosceles trapezoids?
No, a cut cannot be made between two parallel sides of an isosceles trapezoid to create two isosceles trapezoids. An isosceles trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides, so cutting between them would result in two separate shapes, neither of which would be an isosceles trapezoid. The resulting shapes would likely be irregular quadrilaterals or triangles, depending on the location of the cut.
What trapezoid can be subdivided into four congruent right triangles?
An isosceles trapezoid can be subdivided into 4 right angle triangles.
