Are congruent triangles similar?
Yes, similar triangles are congruent because in order to be congruent they must first be equal. Which in turn is the definition of a similar triangle. A triangle equal in angle measurements and/or side lengths. So, yes.
Are similar triangles always congruent?
No, congruent triangles are always similar but similar triangles and not always congruent. Imagine that similar triangles can be created on a copy machine enlarge and shrink the image, turn it, even turn it over, the angles remain the same. A congruent triangle must be exactly the same as the original. Hope this helps!
Are two triangles with corresponding congruent angles congruent?
No, they are similar. They may be congruent, but they need not be.
Two triangles that have the same angles?
The triangles are similar, but not necessarily congruent.
If two triangles are congruent are they similar?
yes
How can similar triangles be made into congruent triangles?
dilating them.
Similar triangles can be made into congruent triangles by?
Dilating them
Similar triangles can be made into congruent triangles by doing what?
Increasing the dimensions of the smaller of the similar triangles (if they are not already congruent) by a suitably chosen constant factor.
Are pairs of congruent triangles can be similar triangles?
no theycan not
Are congruent triangles similar?
Yes, similar triangles are congruent because in order to be congruent they must first be equal. Which in turn is the definition of a similar triangle. A triangle equal in angle measurements and/or side lengths. So, yes.
What do you call two triangles with proportional sides?
They are said to be similar but not congruent triangles.
Are similar triangles always congruent?
No, congruent triangles are always similar but similar triangles and not always congruent. Imagine that similar triangles can be created on a copy machine enlarge and shrink the image, turn it, even turn it over, the angles remain the same. A congruent triangle must be exactly the same as the original. Hope this helps!
The term for two triangles that are congruent after a dilation is?
The term for two triangles that are congruent after a dilation is similar.
The angles of similar triangles are?
Congruent
Is sss a way to find if triangles are similar?
Triangles are congruent if all three sides in one triangle are congruent to the corresponding sides in the other.When two triangles have corresponding sides with identical ratios, the triangles are similar.Of course if triangles are congruent, they are also similar.
Do similar triangles always have congruent angles?
Yes, in similar triangles, the angles are always congruent, and the sides have the same proportions to each other.
Are two triangles with corresponding congruent angles congruent?
No, they are similar. They may be congruent, but they need not be.
