What is the length of the sides of an equilateral triangle?

It depends on how big the triangle is. Find out the length of one side and then all the rest of the sides will be the same.


How many small triangles are need to make one big one?

4 equilateral triangles, 2 as the base, 1 inverted in the space made, and the last one on top.


How do you make a net of triangle based pyraimed?

draw a square with an equilateral triangle (the side must be as big as the side of the cube) joined by its side on all sides.


What shape does 2 large triangles plus 2 small triangles make?

The answer depends on the shapes and sizes of the triangles. I can make a big triangle, a quadrilateral, pentagon, hexagon, etc up to 12 sides.


Why cant you use AA or ASS properties to prove triangles congruent?

There is no AA congruence property. Two triangles with the same angles are similar, but need not be congruent. In other words, they are the same 'shape' but different sizes. For example, an equilateral triangle can be big or small, but all equilateral triangles have 60 degree angles. Although it is often said that there is no ASS congruence theorem in geometry, this isn't quite true. For prescribed values of angle, side, side, there are at most two different "congruence classes" of triangles realizing these values. In other words, there are really only at most two different types of triangles with those given values: any other triangle with the same values is congruent to one of those two. When you study trigonometry, you will learn something called the "Law of Sines." It will give you at most two possible values for the angle opposite the middle S in aSs (they are supplementary to each other.) Then the ASA congruence theorem can be applied.

How can you make 4 equilateral triangles from 6 equal length sticks or matches?

Make a Triangular Pyramid. Place three flat to form the first triangle, then make it into a pyramid with the remaining three. (It's a tetrahedron - a four-sided figure, and all sides are equilateral triangles.)

How do you make an irregular hexagon from six equilateral triangles?

You take four regular triangles and make the all on the same center point and make them share one or two of there side with the triangle next to it until you get something that looks like a pac-man with a big mouth.

How do you fit sixteen right triangles into 1 big triangle?

On the contrary, it is quite possible to fix sixteen right triangles into one big triangle. In fact, all the triangles can be isosceles and congruent. Place one triangle in a "row." Then, place three triangles in a row lower than the first one, creating a trapezoid. Repeat with rows of five and seven triangles. This works because 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 = 4^2 = 16.


How big are the angles of an equilateral triangle?

60 degrees because there are 180 degrees in every triangle you divide 180 by 3 (3 angles) and get 60
