Only when they are equilateral triangles and regular hexagons that both will have sides of equal lengths.
Equilateral triangles have 3 sides all of the same lengths and the three angles are equal (60°). Isoceles triangles have two sides of equal length with both of those side angles being equal while the other is different. Scalane triangles have all sides of different lengths and different angles. Right angled triangles have one angle of 90° and the other two will total 90°.
The sum of the squares of the lengths of the two shortest sides is equal to the square of the longest side.
It is Pythagoras' theorem that is applicable to right angle triangles.
The Pythagorean theorem applies specifically to right triangles because it defines a relationship between the lengths of the sides in a triangle where one angle is exactly 90 degrees. In this configuration, the lengths of the two legs (the sides forming the right angle) can be squared and summed to equal the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle). For triangles without a right angle, this relationship does not hold, as the properties of triangle geometry change, and the sum of the squares of the sides does not equal the square of the longest side. Thus, the theorem is uniquely suited to right triangles.
It states that the square of the length of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
No.Equilateral triangles must have equal angles (all 60 degrees) and equal length sides; there are also:Isosceles triangles which have two equal angles and two equal sides;Scalene triangles which have all three sides, and hence all three angles, of different lengths;Right angled triangles (which can have all sides of different lengths, or two sides of equal length) have (as the name suggests) one right angle. This means Pythagoras and the trigonometric ratios can be used on its side lengths.

No, a scalene triangle is simply a triangle where all angles are not equal and all side lengths are not equal, therefore they can or cannot be obtuse.

No, not all right triangles are congruent. Right triangles can have different side lengths and angles, as long as one angle is 90 degrees. Two right triangles are congruent if their corresponding sides and angles are equal, which is determined by criteria such as the Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) theorem or the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) criterion. Therefore, while some right triangles can be congruent, many others will not be.
A triangle with side lengths 1, 2, square root(3). A scalene triangle is any triangle whose sides are all of different lengths. It may or may not have a right-angle. Compare with isosceles triangles (2 out of 3 sides are equal in length) and equilateral triangles (all 3 sides are equal in length).
pythagorean theorem is a2 + b2 = c2 (only in right triangles) c is the length of the hypotenuse, and a and b are the lengths of the other two legs.
The Pythagorean theorem specifically applies to right-angled triangles because it is based on the unique relationship between the lengths of the sides in such triangles. It states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides (a² + b² = c²). In non-right triangles, this relationship does not hold, as the angles and side lengths do not conform to the theorem's criteria. Instead, the Law of Cosines is used for non-right triangles to relate their side lengths and angles.
To prove two triangles congruent by the Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) theorem, you need to know that both triangles are right triangles. Additionally, you must establish that the lengths of their hypotenuses are equal and that one pair of corresponding legs is also equal in length. With this information, you can confidently apply the HL theorem to conclude that the triangles are congruent.
