They are both triangles that have interior degrees of 180 and exterior degrees of 360.

An equilateral has three equal sides and three equal angles.

An isosceles has two equal sides and two equal angles.

How much degrees is there in a rectangle?

360 degrees, 90 degrees per angle, you can make two trangles inside of it, and triangles are 180 degrees


Is ABC trangle an trangle DEF If so name which similarity postulate or theorem applies.?

None; because there is no justification for assuming that the two triangles (or trangles, as you prefer to call them) are similar.


Argument to showing that an equilateral triangle cannot have a right angle?

If you have an equilateral triangle ABC, then draw the line from A to D, the mid point of BC. Then in trangles ABD and ACD, AB = AC (equilateral), BD = DC (D is midpoint), and AD is common so these two triangles are congruent and so angle ABD = angle ACD. That is, angle ABC = angle ACB. Similarly the third angle can be shown to be the same. Thus an equilateral triangle is also equiangular. Now, sum of the interior angles of any triangle is 180 degrees. So since sum of three equal angles measures is 180 degrees, they must be 60 degrees each, i.e. NOT 90 degrees so there is no right angle..


What is the measure of a trangles third angle if two angles are both 75 degrees?

A triangles' angles always equal 180 when all added up. So 180-150= 30 the last angle is 30 degrees.

What shape does pythagorean apply to?

The Pythagorean theorem applies to right-angled triangles. It states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.


How many sides does a pentogonal rotunda have?

The Pentagonal Rotunda has 20 vertices, 17 faces and 35 edges. The Pentagonal Rotunda contains 10 trangles, 6 pentagons and 1 decagon.


Is a trangles a prallelogram?

no. a triangle is not a parallelogram. First of all, a parallelogram should be a quadrilateral, and quadrilateral forms are figures which has four sides. secondly' a parallelogram should have two pairs of parallel sides. a triangle doesn't even have a pair of parallel sides.


What is the equation for pie?

The equation for pi can be given by estimating the circumference of a circle with infinitely many trangles through the use of limiting. The equation is:pi = limn->∞(n(sin(180/n)))(Note: the notation -> is in this case an arrow)


What ideas in math and science did pythagorus contribute?

The theory in right-angled trangles that the hypotenuse (The Side opposite the right angle) squared is equal to the the other 2 sides both squared, added together. So the formula for "Pythagorus Theorum" is a^2 + b^2 = h^2
