Do 2 triangles with 2 equal sides have the same area?
Only if the two triangles are congruent will they have equal areas. A third fact is required to determine they are congruent (and thus have the same area): 1) The third sides are equal; 2) The angles enclosed between the sides are equal; or 3) The same one of the sides is the hypotenuse of the triangles, which are right angled triangles.
Are two triangles congruent if they have same area?
Not necessarily. You find the area of a triangle with the formula 1/2*base*height=Area. Imagine two triangles, one with 3 inches for both the base and height, and one with 4.5 inches for the height and 2 inches for the base. Both of these triangles will have 9 sq. in. for their areas, but they are not congruent.
Can a congruent triangle have 2 same sides?
congruent means equivalent. An equilateral triangle has 3 of the same sides, not two. Isosceles triangles can have 2 or 3 of the same length sides. Congruent isosceles triangles are impossible.I agree with most of the above answer but not the last sentence. It is possible to have congruent isosceles triangles. If the legs (sides) of triangle 1 are the same length as the legs of triangle 2, and the bases (third side) of the two triangles are the same length then the two isosceles triangles will be congruent.So the answer to the question is: yes, a congruent triangle can have two same length sides.
How many congruent triangles make a parallelogram?
Answer: 2 Explanation: A parallelogram is a quadrilateral which has both pairs of the opposite sides parallel. Congruent triangles are triangles that have exactly the same three sides and exactly the same three angles. So, in a parallelogram, each diagonal divides it in 2 congruent triangles.

Can two triangles with 2 congruent angles and 1 congruent side congruent?
Yes, they are. IF the side is between the two angles in both triangles,and all three items flow in the same direction in both triangles.
