Similar triangles
Things that are the same size
If the triangle is the same size, and it's sides are congruent to the other, then yes they are congruent to each other.
a pentagonal pyramid is a shape with a base of a triangle, and triangles forming up to the point
In trigonometry, we call it a rectangular pyramid.
A pyramid has a based that is a polygon such as a triangle or rectangle. The other sides of a pyramid consist of triangles, which are usually the same size.
Similar triangles
Yes as they get smaller in size going towards the top of the pyramid.
a square pyramid has 4 triangles
a pyramid can use any triangles possible.
congruent triangles
there are 4 triangles and 1 rectangle in an rectangular pyramid

yes they are triangles
4 triangles
A=1/2bh The area of a triangle is 1/2bh. If the base of it is a triangle and all 4 of the triangles aren't the same, then you have to find the area of the base triangle and then the three other triangles (which should all have the same area). If all four of the triangles have the same area, then just find the area of one of the triangles and multiply that by four. A triangular pyramid that has four equal triangles is also called a tetrahedron.
