Why isn't it possible to build a different triangle from anothers three line segments?

Oh but it is possible.
If you have a triangle with the three sides labeled 'a', 'b', and 'c' in clockwise order,
and you reassemble them in the clockwise order of 'a', 'c', 'b', then the new triangle
is not congruent to the original one. It's a different triangle.

Yes the given segments would form an isosceles triangle
Can the segments 9 9 and 1 form a triangle?
Yes the given segments would form an isosceles triangle
What angle is the bisector of the triangle formed by segments 32-14 and 07-25.?
Two segments cannot form a triangle.

How many perpendicular line segments are in a triangle?
if the triangle is a right angle it has 2 perpendicular line segments.
What is a polygon with 3 line segments?
A polygon which has 3 line segments is a triangle. Either Isoceles, scalene, or an equilateral triangle with occur.
Name all types of triangles for which the point of concurrency is inside the triangle?
The answer depends on what point of concurrency you are referring to. There are four segments you could be talking about in triangles. They intersect in different places in different triangles. Medians--segments from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. In acute, right and obtuse triangles, the point of concurrency of the medians (centroid) is inside the triangle. Altitudes--perpendicular segments from a vertex to a line containing the opposite side. In an acute triangle, the point of concurrency of the altitudes (orthocenter) is inside the triangle, in a right triangle it is on the triangle and in an obtuse triangle it is outside the triangle. Perpendicular bisectors of sides--segments perpendicular to each side of the triangle that bisect each side. In an acute triangle, the point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors (circumcenter) is inside the triangle, in a right triangle it is on the triangle and in an obtuse triangle it is outside the triangle. Angle bisectors--segments from a vertex to the opposite side that bisect the angles at the vertices. In acute, right and obtuse triangles, the point of concurrency of the angle bisectors (incenter) is inside the triangle.
Can the segments 9 9 1 form a triangle?
Yes the given segments would form an isosceles triangle
Can the segments 9 9 and 1 form a triangle?
Yes the given segments would form an isosceles triangle
What angle is the bisector of the triangle formed by segments 32-14 and 07-25.?
Two segments cannot form a triangle.
How many line segments are in a triangle?
Line segments are lines so the answer is 3.
Is triangle a line segment?
No. A triangle contains three line segments.
What is a triangle formed by the three mid segments of a triangle?
It is a triangle similar to the original but quarter the size.
Is an obtuse triangle a scalene triangle?
Not always, but it is possible. An obtuse triangle has 1 angle which measures greater than 90 degrees. A scalene triangle has all different lengths in size. It is possible for a triangle to have different angles, with one above 90 degrees, and have all different side lengths.
