Draw a line joining two opposite corners of a rectangle; you have divided it into two triangles. Each of these triangles has angles that add to 180o; together, the six angles of the twotrianglesform the angles of therectangle and must add to 2x180o = 360o.

Is a triangle and rectangle congruent?
No, a triangle and a rectangle are not congruent. Congruent means exactly the same size and shape. A triangle has 3 sides while a rectangle has four. A triangle's three angles always add up to 180 degrees where as a rectangle's four right angles always equal 360 degrees. They are not congruent- not even similar- at all.
Sum of measures of angles of a triangle to sum or measures or angles of a rectangle?
The sum of the internal angles of any triangle is 180 degrees. Any rectangle has four 90 degree internal angles, totalling 360 degrees.
How many triangles fit in a trapezoid?
Two of them because there are 360 degrees in a trapezoid and 180 degrees in a triangle and so it follows that 360/180 = 2
What do all the angles of a kite equal?
360 degrees, assuming the kite is a rectangle. Regardless, if it has 4 corners, totaling all those up would bring you to 360. if the kite is a triangle, then its angles would total to 180 degrees. These are the two most common types of kites.
How are a octagon and triangle alike?
a triangle is 180 degrees a square is 2 triangles so it is 360 degrees an octagon is 8 sides 720 degrees 180 times 4 = 720 degrees
