A square already has 2 right angle triangles within it
Four triangles, similar to the large one, but one third the size.
No, two equilateral triangles do not make a square. A square has four equal sides and four right angles, while an equilateral triangle has three equal sides but three angles that add up to 180 degrees. When two equilateral triangles are put together, they do not form a shape with four equal sides and four right angles, which is the defining characteristic of a square.
Two triangles are congruent if the six elements of one triangle (three sides and three angles) are equal to the six elements of the second triangle and the two triangles have a scale factor of 1. However, in four special cases it is only necessary to match three elements to prove that two triangles are congruent. The matching of four elements is sometimes necessary, and the matching of five elements would put the matter beyond any doubt.
If the 3 interior angles are the same then the triangles are similar
