What is special about triangles that make up a tetrahedron?
Each side of any one triangle must be congruent to one side of each of the other three triangles.
What is SSS mean in comparing triangles?
Side Side Side when comparing two triangles the side side side postulate states that if three sides from one triangle are congruent to three sides on another triangle the triangles are conguent
How would you prove triangles are congruent?
You could prove two triangles are congruent by measuring each side of both triangles, and all three angles of each triangle. If the lengths of the sides are the same, and so are the angles, then the triangles are congruent... if not, then the triangles are not congruent. If the triangles have the exact same size and shape then they are congruent.
What is a three sided polygons with the same shape but not the same size are called?
Three sided polygons would be triangles. Triangles that have the same shape (same angle measures) but are different sizes (different side lengths) would be called similar triangles. In similar triangles, corresponding sides have lengths in the same ratio. If triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF, then: AB/DE = BC/EF = AC/DF.
Which properties of triangles make them special among all other types of polygons?
They are rigid structures: the side lengths determine their shape uniquely. This is one reason that triangles are used in structures - for bracing,
How many different triangles can you make from a set of three side lengths?
u can make none.

How do you make 10 triangles with 5 toothpicks?
form triangles side by side
Can two scalene triangles not be congruent but have 5 congruent parts?
No. Any three consecutive congruent parts (angle-side-angle or side-angle-side) make any two triangles completely congruent.

In similar triangles, corresponding sides have lengths in the same ratio. If triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF, then: AB/DE = BC/EF = AC/DF.
What type of triangles has three side of equal length?
Equilateral triangle

What is sss in postulate?
This stands for side-side-side. It means if two triangles have three sides that are the same length, than they triangles are congruent.
How many triangles can you make on a soccer field?
depends on the side of the triangles?
How many triangles can you make out of a fourteen sided shape?
Infinitely many. Given any triangle, a line from a vertex to any point on the opposite side will give two triangles. That process can continue indefinitely.
