Are all similar triangles congruent triangles?
No. For example the triangles with sides {3, 4, 5} and {6, 8, 10} are similar but not congruent.
How would you prove triangles are congruent?
You could prove two triangles are congruent by measuring each side of both triangles, and all three angles of each triangle. If the lengths of the sides are the same, and so are the angles, then the triangles are congruent... if not, then the triangles are not congruent. If the triangles have the exact same size and shape then they are congruent.
If two triangles are congruent what is true about them?
Same size and shape
Are all triangle congruent?
no. congruent means the same size and shape. all triangles don't share the same size and shape.
How do you compare and contrast congruent and similar?
Similar means they are of the same shape but not necessary the same size. two figure are congruents when they are of the same shape and size. congruent figures can be similar but not similar figures aren't always congruent
Are all similar triangles congruent triangles?
No. For example the triangles with sides {3, 4, 5} and {6, 8, 10} are similar but not congruent.
Are similar triangles always congruent?
No, congruent triangles are always similar but similar triangles and not always congruent. Imagine that similar triangles can be created on a copy machine enlarge and shrink the image, turn it, even turn it over, the angles remain the same. A congruent triangle must be exactly the same as the original. Hope this helps!
What is congruent parts of congruent triangles are congruent?
Things that are the same size
What do you call triangles that are the same size and shape?
congruent triangles
Congruent triangles have the same shape and size because they will always have the same?
Congruent Triangles have the same angles and side length measures

If triangles are congruent they have the same?
If the triangle is the same size, and it's sides are congruent to the other, then yes they are congruent to each other.
If two triangles have three pairs of congruent angles then the triangles are guaranteed to be congruent is that true or false?
trueImproved Answer:-It is false because the triangles could be similar in shape but not in size
What do triangles have to have to be congruent?
Same dimensional shape and same size angles.
If two triangles are congruent what is true about them?
Same size and shape
Are all triangle congruent?
no. congruent means the same size and shape. all triangles don't share the same size and shape.
What is congruences?
the strongest relationship a pair of triangles can have is congruence. two segments or two angles are congruent when they have the same measures. congruent triangles have exactly the same size and shape.
