If an acute angle of one right triangle is congruent to an angle of a second triangle then are the triangles similar?
true.
'True or false Two right triangles are similar if an acute angle of one triangle is congruent to an acute angle of the other triangle'?
Sounds true to me, all three angles are congruent...
When two right triangles are similar if an acute angle of one triangle is congruent to an acute angle of the other triangle?
this is true
Are two right triangles similar if an acute angle of one triangle is congruent to an acute angle of the other triangle?
Yes, you have two congruent angles in each triangle, one right and one acute so the third angles must be equal also.
A triangle containing 1 right angle and 2 congruent acute angles is called?
A triangle with 1 right angle and 2 congruent acute angles is both a right triangle and an isosceles triangle.
Two right triangles that are not similar still may have one congruent acute angle in common?
Not so. The two acute angles of a right triangle must add up to 90 degrees.So if the triangles have one congruent acute angle in common, they must alsohave the other acute angle in common, and then they're similar.
What does the hypotenuse-angle theorem say?
If the hypotenuse and an acute angle of a right triangle are congruent to the correspondingparts of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
The LAtheorem says that two right triangles will be congruent if they have a congruent and a congruent leg?
The leg-angle congruence theorem says if one leg and an acute angle of one right triangle are congruent to one leg and an acute angle of another right triangle, then the two right triangles are congruent.
What do the triangles look like and what are the names?
Equilateral triangle = All sides congruent Scalene triangle = No sides congruent Isosceles triangle = At LEAST two sides congruent Right triangle = Triangle with one right angle Obtuse triangle = Triangle with ONE obtuse angle Acute triangle = Triangle with ALL acute angles
What triangle has an obtuse angle and no congruent sides?
A scalene triangle can have an obtuse angle and two different acute angles.
What are the four congruence theorems for a right triangle?
The four congruence theorem for right triangles are:- LL Congruence Theorem --> If the two legs of a right triangle is congruent to the corresponding two legs of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.- LA Congruence Theorem --> If a leg and an acute angle of a right triangles is congruent to the corresponding leg and acute angle of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.- HA Congruence Theorem --> If the hypotenuse and an acute angle of a right triangle is congruent to the corresponding hypotenuse and acute angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.- HL Congruence Theorem --> If the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle is congruent to the corresponding hypotenuse and leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
What is the hypotenuse angle theorem?
The hypotenuse angle theorem, also known as the HA theorem, states that 'if the hypotenuse and an acute angle of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and an acute angle of another right triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.'
