Which of these shapes has four right angles and two pairs of congruent sides?
rectangle
Can two shapes be congruent and not similar?
In short, no. Similar shapes are shapes in which all corresponding angles congruent regardless of the length of the sides. Congruent shapes have congruent corresponding angles and corresponding sides. In effect congruent shapes is a special condition of similar shapes.
Two quadrilaterals that have two pairs of parallel sides each In addition all four of the sides are congruent in both shapes?
The two quadrilaterals are squares.
What is the ratio between the corresponding sides of two congruent shapes?
Since by definition corresponding sides of congruent shapes have the same length, the answer is 1.
What is does congruent means?
Congruent means that two shapes are the same size and shape. When two shapes are congruent, all corresponding sides and angles are equal.
What does congruent mean if shapes are not the same size?
You can have two shapes - a small one and a big one - whose angles are congruent but the sides are not. In that case the shapes are not congruent but similar.
Do two congruent shapes have to have the same number of sides?
Yes, that's what makes them congruent!
What is a four-sided polygon with two congruent parallel sides?
A square is a four-sided polygon with two congruent parallel sides.
If a quadrilateral has four congruent sides but its diagonals are not congruent then the quadrilateral is a?
trapezoid * * * * * It cannot be a trapezoid because that does not have four congruent sides. In fact it need not have even two congruent sides. The correct answer is a rhombus.
What has four congruent sides and two pairs of congruent angles?
A Rhombus.
Do trapezoids have four congruent sides?
No. If it did it would be a rectangle. A trapezoid only has two congruent sides.
What is a four-sided polygon with two pairs of congruent sides and the congruent sides are adjacent?
A polygon.
