Can you divide a trapezium into two congruent triangles?

No, it is not possible to divide a trapezium into two congruent triangles. A trapezium has only one pair of parallel sides, while a triangle has no parallel sides. Therefore, it is not geometrically feasible to divide a trapezium into two congruent triangles.


Why do you think that diagonals bisect each other for proving that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram?

The diagonals divide the quadrilateral into four sections. You can then use the bisection to prove that opposite triangles are congruent (SAS). That can then enable you to show that the alternate angles at the ends of the diagonal are equal and that shows one pair of sides is parallel. Repeat the process with the other pair of triangles to show that the second pair of sides is parallel. A quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel lines is a parallelogram.


How many diagonals are in a quadrilateral?

A diagonal line of a polygon is a line that joins any two vertices not already joined by a side.A polygon with n sides has n(n-3)/2 diagonals→ a quadrilateral with 4 sides has 4(4-3)/2 = 4 × 1 ÷ 2 = 2 diagonalQuadrilaterals include:Squares, rectangles, rhombuses, parallelograms, kites, trapezia (trapezoids).The diagonals of a quadrilateral divide the quadrilateral into 4 triangles. depending upon the quadrilateral some, or all of the triangles may be congruent.The properties of the diagonals of each quadrilateral are:square: equal and bisect each other at 90°; the triangles formed are all congruentrectangle: equal and bisect each other but not at 90°; the triangles formed are all congruentrhombus: not equal but bisect each other at 90°; the triangles formed are all congruentparallelogram: not equal but do bisect each other, but not at 90°; the triangles formed are congruent in (opposite) pairskite: perpendicular and the longer diagonal bisects the shorter diagonal; the triangles formed are congruent in (adjacent) pairstrapezium (trapezoid): only of equal length and bisect each other if it is an isosceles trapezium (trapezoid) and the triangles formed are congruent in (opposite) pairs; otherwise they are of differing lengths and just intersect each others and the triangles formed are non-congruent.


To divide into two congruent parts?

I'm assuming you mean "What does dividing into two congruent parts mean?". It means to divide into two identical halves.

In which parallelogram does the diagonal divide the parallelogram into two congruent right triangles?

It is a rhombus because its diagonals meet at right angles.


Does a diagonal of a parralelogram divide a parallelogram into two congruent triangles?

Yes, a diagonal of a parallelogram divides it into two congruent triangles. This is because the opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel and congruent, so the two resulting triangles formed by the diagonal are mirror images of each other and thus congruent.


Does the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect the angles?

No, the diagonals of a parallelogram do not necessarily bisect the angles. The diagonals of a parallelogram divide it into four congruent triangles, but they do not necessarily bisect the angles of those triangles.


How can you used a triangle to prove quadrilateral is a parallelogram?

A quadrilateral, in general, is not a parallelogram. If it is a parallelogram then you will have some additional information about its sides and angles. If you do not have such information it is not possible to prove that it is a parallelogram. Draw a diagonal which will divide the quadrilateral into two triangles and use the additional information that you have to show that the triangles are congruent. This can then be used to show equality of sides or of angles: the latter can then be used to show that sides are parallel. Note that the choice of which diagonal may influence how (if at all) you proceed.


If you want to divide triangles into parallelogram how many triangles can you cut from parallelogram?

You can get 2 triangles by cutting a parallelogram in half
