It depends how you arrange them - I got eight triangles, without any left over.

How do you make three triangles with nine matches?
take three match for each triangle
What way to prove two right triangles are congruent?
Congruent shapes simply means both shape are identical, therefore to find two right-angled triangles are congruent you:Use a tracing paper and trace the right-angled triangle (A) and see if it matches with the other right-angled triangle (B).Another way is to find the positions or measure the triangles, if the match then viola! they're the same.
How many times is the word remember mentioned in the Bible?
A search for the word "remember" with PC Study Bible resulted in 148 matches in the King James Version and 167 matches in the New International Version.
Does a parellelogram have four congruent triangles?
Yes. Read on for why: Take a parallelogram ABCD with midpoints E and F in the bases. So something like this (forgive the "drawing"): A E B __.__ /__.__/ C F D We know that parallelogram AEFC = EBDF, since they have the same base (F bisects CD, so CF = FD), height (haven't touched that), and angles (<ACF = <EFD because they're parallel - trust me that everything else matches). We also know that every parallelogram can be divided into two congruent triangles along their diagonal. So if two congruent parallelograms consistent of two congruent triangles each, then all four triangles are congruent. So your congruent triangles are ACF, AEF, EFD, and EBD. You can further reinforce this through ASA triangle congruency proofs (as I did at first), but this is a far more concise and equally valid answer.
How can you add five matches to six matches to make nine?
Answer: Mathematically, it is impossible to add five matches to six matches to result in nine matches.Logically, however, you can add five matches to six matches to make nine if one match is on fire, then you set that match on another match, and eventually both of those matches that were on fire burn themselves into ashes, leaving you with only nine unlit matches left.Answer: You lay out the 11 matches so they spell the word NINE.
How do you make three triangles with nine matches?
take three match for each triangle
Can 9 toothpicks s be used to form 4 congruent triangles?
Yes. Make one triangle using hree matches. Underneath the two vertices at the base of this triangle, make another two triangles, using six more matches. You will find that there is an inverted triangle in the middle - the fourth.
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.)
If you have 6 identical matches and you have to build 4 identical triangles The length of any triangle side must be equal to 1 match How would you do it?
You've got to build a 3 dimensional triangle. Lay the first three matches flat on the table touching one another in the shape of a triangle, then put the remaining three matches at each of the corners of the original three matches so that the second set of three meet together at the apex above the original three matches. Visually, it would take the shape of a pyramid. That will give you four equal triangles.

What does a pipe bomb consist of?
An Empty CO2 Cartridge, The Heads of many matches, and a fuse.
How can you arrange six matches to make eight equilateral triangles-without breaking any of the matches?
Make a square (with four of the matches) and then put an x in the square (with the reamaining two) I'm sorry to spoil your trick; however, the two sticks that are used for the X are not long enough to touch the four corners of the square. In return, I will ask: How can you make 4 equilateral triangles from 6 equal length sticks or matches?
What does a phillumenist consist?
phillumenist is collector of matchboxes and matches. phillumenist is very fancy word for a collector.

Would a box of matches be useful on the moon?
No. Matches need air to burn and there is no oxygen on the moon. Remember, the men who landed on the moon wore moon suits because they carried their own oxygen.
