Is it true or false that two triangles that have the same base have the same area?

False. The equation for area of a triangle is 1/2 base x height. The height and the base would have to be the same for two triangles to have the same area.

Can two triangles that have the same base always have the same area?
no
Are two triangles congruent if they have same area?
Not necessarily. You find the area of a triangle with the formula 1/2*base*height=Area. Imagine two triangles, one with 3 inches for both the base and height, and one with 4.5 inches for the height and 2 inches for the base. Both of these triangles will have 9 sq. in. for their areas, but they are not congruent.
Do all triangles with same side lengths have the same area?
Only if they are congruent triangles
What condition for a triangle produce triangles that have the same area?
If another triangle has the same three sides, that is, sides of the same length, it will have the same area. Note that this is a sufficient, but not a necessary, condition, since you can also have triangles of a different shape that have the same area.
What is the area of a scalene?
All triangles have the same formula A=bh/2. Pick any side you like as a base and multiply by half the height, it will always give the area.
Why is that if 2 triangles have the same base they have the same area?
Only if the two triangles have the same base and height then they have the same area, because an area of a triangle OS the base times the height divided by two.
Can two triangles that have the same base always have the same area?
no
Do two equilateral triangles of same base have same area?
Yes.
What is the formula for a triangular pyramid in surface area?
A=1/2bh The area of a triangle is 1/2bh. If the base of it is a triangle and all 4 of the triangles aren't the same, then you have to find the area of the base triangle and then the three other triangles (which should all have the same area). If all four of the triangles have the same area, then just find the area of one of the triangles and multiply that by four. A triangular pyramid that has four equal triangles is also called a tetrahedron.
Two traingles that have the same base always have the same area?
No, because if they have different heights the area will differ between the two triangles.
How you find the area with only the base for the triangle?
No. You can have a million triangles, all with the same base but different areas. Just the base alone is not enough information to tell you what the area has to be.
Are two triangles congruent if they have same area?
Not necessarily. You find the area of a triangle with the formula 1/2*base*height=Area. Imagine two triangles, one with 3 inches for both the base and height, and one with 4.5 inches for the height and 2 inches for the base. Both of these triangles will have 9 sq. in. for their areas, but they are not congruent.
PROVE THAT triangles on the same base and between same par ells are equal in area?
Aww, man. Proofs? You're on your own.
What is the area formula for a parallelogram?
Area = Length x width It's the same as the area for a rectangle - base times height. If you think about it, a parallelogram is a rectangle with two triangles on either side - one with its base on top, one with its base on bottom. Through various identities, we know that these two triangles are congruent. So the area is the sum of the small rectangle plus the two triangles, which ends up being base times height.
How is the area triangle related to the area of a rectangle?
two right triangles = full rectangle That is - if you multiply height times base of a triangle, the area will be 1/2 of a rectangle having the same height, and a width the same as the triangle base.
Is a triangular prism has the same surface area as a pyramid with a triangular base true or false?
False, the prism can be of any length.
Do all triangles with same side lengths have the same area?
Only if they are congruent triangles
