What other 2d shape has congruent triangles in it?
A square and rectangle both have congruent triangles in them.
What is necessary when proving that the diagonals of a rectangle are congruent?
opposite sides are congruent corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent(apex)
Are the diagonals of a rectangle congruent always?
Yes. You can show this by SAS of two right triangles. Consider rectangle ABCD. AD and BC are the same length and AC and BD are the same length because opposite sides are congruent. The angles ADC and BCD are congruent since it is a rectangle and the angles are right angles. So the triangles ADC and BCD are congruent and their hypotenuses (the diagonals of the rectangles) are congruent.
Prove that the diagonals of rectangle are equal?
prove any two adjacent triangles as congruent
Name the type of special quadrilateral that will appear when you join two congruent scalene right triangles?
Two scalene right triangles that are congruent, that is, that have identical size and shape, if joined together to form a quadrilateral, will form a rectangle.
What other 2d shape has congruent triangles in it?
A square and rectangle both have congruent triangles in them.
What shapes come out when you decompose a rectangle?
triangles and straight lines you can get on decomposing a rectangle.
Does a rectangle have two pairs of congruent triangles?
A rectangle has two pairs of congruent (meaning identical) sides.If, however, you drew two lines diagonally from corner to corner, you would have two pairs of congruent triangles within the rectangle.
Is a rectangle made up of congruent shapes?
I think a rectangle is NOT made up of congruent shapes because it only does not have triangles.
What is necessary when proving that the diagonals of a rectangle are congruent?
opposite sides are congruent corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent(apex)
What quadirlateral is formed by 2 right scalene triangles?
If the triangles are congruent and you match the hypotenera the right way, you can get a rectangle. If the triangles are not congruent, you can't even necessarily get a quadrilateral.
How many pairs of congruent triangles are formed diagonals of a rectangle?
Four.
How many pairs of congruent triangles are formed by the diagonals of a rectangle?
4
What shapes can you make out of two congruent right-angled triangles?
a rectangle
What is a solid that has one rectangle and has two pairs of congruent triangles?
Rectangular pyramid
You have 2 congruent triangles for a base and have 3 rectangle faces?
A triangular prism.
