No. If two figures are congruent, then every part of one is equal to the corresponding

part of the other. A triangle has 6 parts (3 sides and 3 angles) and a rectangle has

8 parts, so there's no way to even say which parts are "corresponding".

Another easy answer: A rectangle has 4 right angles, but a triangle can never have

more than one. So there can't very well ever be much of a resemblance.

I think of it this way: If two figures are congruent, then after you pick up one and

lay it down on top of the other, you can't even tell that there are two figures there.

They fit exactly, and they look like only one.
