Does a diagonal of a parralelogram divide a parallelogram into two congruent triangles?
Yes, the diagonal splits the parallelogram into two equal triangle aka congruent the sides will stay the same, the two angles being divided are going to be split in half, one on each side, so its the same
What is a congruent point?
The point at which there establishes one to one correspondence between two entities is ideally the 'congruent point'. ex: Two line segments are congruent if they have the same length, two angles are congruent if they have the same measure, two polygons are congruent if all the corresponding sides and angles are equal.
What will happen when the bacterium divides?
When a bacterium divides it makes two clones of itself.
What type of process is when one cell divides into two cells?
Mitosis is when one cell divides into two.
what is one cell divides up into two identical daughter cells?
A somatic, or body, cell divides into two genetically identical daughter cells.
In a parallelogram a diagonal separates the parallelogram into?
two congruent triangles
In a parallelogram a diagnol separates the parallelogram into?
two congruent triangles
What is congruent diagonals each of which divides the figure into two congruent isosceles right triangles?
what is the congruent diagonals each of which divides the figure into two congruent isosceles right triangles
What 2 triangles are formed when split a parallelogram in half?
Two congruent triangles.
A diagonal forms two non-congruent triangles?
False. A diagonal of a parallelogram produces 2 congruent triangles
What do you get when you join two congruent equilateral triangles?
There is more than one way to join two triangles. It would be possile to assemble a parallelogram out of two congruent equilateral triangles.
If a diagonal is drawn in a parallelogram then two congruent triangles are formed?
True.
If a diagonal is drawn in a parallelogram then two congruent triangles are formed.?
Correct
A diagonal separates the parallelogram into?
Two congruent triangles.. To prove it, use the SSS Postulate.
How do you decompose a rectangle into congruent triangles?
Its diagonals divides it into two equal right angle triangles.
How are parallelogram related to triangles and rectangles?
If you draw one diagonal across a parallelogram, it will split it into two congruent triangles. A rectangle is a parallelogram, with all four angles equal to 90°.
Why are the diagonals of a parallelogram not congruent?
If you look ate the parallelogram you'll see two kinds of triangles. Two that have longer diagonal and bigger angle, and two sides of parallelogram. Then, you have two triangles that have two sides of parallelogram, shorter diagonal and smaller angle. This triangles obviously have two sides that are the same (sides of parallelogram). If this two triangles had been congruent diagonals would have been congruent too, since these triangles would have been congruent. But this is not true unless angles of parallelogram are the same, therefore diagonals cannot be the same length. Of course, there are parallelograms that have same angles, and those are square and rectangle, which do have the same angles. I hope I made this more clear, and I'm sorry for my bad English.
