What does classifying triangles mean?
Some triangles can be classified by only term, and some triangles fall into two overlapping, non-mutually-exclusive categories.
What does mean for two triangles to be congruent?
That they are both identical in size and angles
Is there an SAS postulate for similarity of two triangles also just as you have one for congruency of triangles?
YesFor two triangles to be congruent, their corresponding sides must be of equal length. But for triangles to be similar, they must only have equal angles. For there to be a SAS postulate for similarity, the two corresponding sides would have to be proportionate, not equal. If they were equal, the triangles would be congruent.So, an SAS postulate for similar triangles would mean that two of the sides of the smaller triangle are, for example, half the two corresponding sides of the other triangle. If also the corresponding included angles are equal, then the two triangles would be similar triangles.APEX: similar

How do you display two right triangles in java?
two right triangles
What postulate or theorem verifies the congruence of triangles?
sssThere are five methods for proving the congruence of triangles. In SSS, you prove that all three sides of two triangles are congruent to each other. In SAS, if two sides of the triangles and the angle between them are congruent, then the triangles are congruent. In ASA, if two angles of the triangles and the side between them are congruent, then the triangles are congruent. In AAS, if two angles and one of the non-included sides of two triangles are congruent, then the triangles are congruent. In HL, which only applies to right triangles, if the hypotenuse and one leg of the two triangles are congruent, then the triangles are congruent.
Does 2 equilateral triangles make a square?
No two equilateral triangles do not make a square but two right triangles do.
Is it possible for two triangles to have two pairs of sides that are proportional without the triangles being similar?
Yes. You can even have two triangles with two pairs of sides that are the SAME measure without the triangles being similar.

How you can prove that the angles of two triangles are equal?
If the angles of two triangles are equal the triangles are similar. AAA If you have three angles on both triangles these must be equal for the triangles to be similar. SAS If you have an angle between two sides and the length of the sides and the angle are the same on both triangles, then the triangles are similar. And SSS If you know the three sides
What kind of triangles are formed if the parallelogram is divided into two?
You would get two scalene triangles.
Two equilateral triangles are sometimes similar?
Two equilateral triangles are always similar!
What are two congruent triangles?
They are two triangles whose corresponding sides and angles are the same.
