Do congruent triangles always have the same shape?
Yes, that's part of what the word congruent means. Not only do congruent triangles have the same shape they are of the same size, and you can move one of them over the other one so that it covers it exactly.Note that you cannot flip a triangle over and consider it conguent to another triangle.
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!
How do you name a triangle by its sides and angles?
how you name a triangle by its angles is like acute, obtuse, or right triangle. you do that by seeing if the angle has a 90 degree angle in it then its a right angle, if all the angles are 90 degrees or less than its an acute triangle. and if the triangle has one angle that is over 90 degrees than it is an obtuse triangle. to name a triangle by its sides is if its equilateral, equiangular, or regular. if its equilateral then all the sides are congruent. if its equiangular then all the angles are congruent. if its regular, then all the sides and angles are congruent to each other (for example and octogon). :)
If two angle bisectors of a triangle are congruent then prove that triangle is isosceles?
The two angle bisectors of a triangle are congruent the those two angles are congruent. The angles are bisected the same meaning that the whole and half angle are the same. For example if they are bisected at the whole angle 50 each, then each half is 25. The bisectors really don't mean anything and all you need is 50 to know it's isosceles. 50 and 50 is 100 and the left over for the last angle is 80 adding to 180. AND overall any 2 congruent angles in a triangle have the same congruent legs making it isosceles.
Are an obtuse triangle and a acute triangle sometimes congruent?
Congruent means "equals" or "the same." Basically if you take a shape and flip it over or mirror it, or do anything else that copies the original in size and shape, it is congruent to the original. An obtuse triangle has one angle greater than 90* and an acute triangle has three angles that are less than 90*. No matter how you turn or flip or mirror those triangles, acute will never be obtuse and obtuse will never be acute. But if you take an acute triangle, and flip it upside down, it is still acute, and still has the same proportions, and therefore is congruent to the original.
What does congruent mean with a triangle?
Two triangles are congruent if (and only if) each of the sides of one has the same length as the corresponding sides of the other and each of the angles of one has the same measure as the corresponding angles of the other.In other words, if one triangle can be cut and then placed exactly over the other.
How do you make 1 triangle 1 rectangle and 1 pentagon in a square?
To make a triangle fold it diagonally vertex to vertex To make a rectangle fold it side to side To make an irregular pentagon fold over one corner without touching the opposite corner
Is a polygon a rectangle or square?
A square is a type of rectangle. A rectangle is a type of polygon. Polygons are just 2D shapes with more than three straight sides, where there are no open ends or lines crossing over each other. Triangle and up, basically.
How rectangle and square are different?
Squares have four equal sides; rectangles have two pairs of equal opposing sides (top and bottom are equal; both sides are equal; top and bottom and sides are not equal to each other). Squares have all 4 sides equal, while 2 parallel sides of a rectangle are equal and the other 2 parallel sides are equal too. Generally, a square is also a rectangle.
What could be the Base and Height of a triangle if it cant be over 100?
Base:14 Height:14
How do you use the word congruent in a sentence?
The two triangles are congruent to each other. (Congruent here means that they are similar.) His actions were congruent with his stated intention to take over the company. (fitting, in accordance with)
Are the angles of a triangle considered to be supplementary?
This question could be argued over and over. However, my interpretation of "supplementary" is TWO angles add up to be 180. However, there are THREE angles in a triangle, so the angles of a triangle, although they add up to 180, are not supplementary.
