NOT POSSIBLE
It is not possible to put 20 isosceles triangles into the form of a square. It takes 2 isosceles triangles to make one square. 6 more isosceles triangles would have to be added before a larger square could be made.
For an isosceles triangle with leg length x, the number of triangles needed to make a square is modeled by the equation
N = 2 * x2
where N is the number of triangles and x is the number of isosceles triangles touching any side of the square.
There is no integer solution for x when N = 20, meaning it is not possible to arrange 20 isosceles triangles in the shape of a square.

How many triangles are there in a 4 by 5 grid?
If its a 4 by 5 grid, there are 20 squares because 4 times 5 =20 20 by 2 is 40 so there are 40 triangles because there are 2 triangles that fit into each square. Hope this helps!
What solid figure has all triangle faces?
There are several: a tetrahedron with 4 equilateral triangles. An 8-sided solid (think of 2 Egyptian pyramids, turn one upside down and put the two square bases together). A 20-sided also has equilateral triangles.
What is a 3D shape using a pentagon called?
Dodecahedron. The 5 "Platonic Solids" are: Cube/ 6 square sides Tetrahedron/ 4 triangles Rhomboid/ 8 triangles Dodecahedron/ 12 pentagons Icosahedron/ 20 triangles
What is a shape with 20 triangles?
There are 20 triangles inside a 22 sided polygon

How many triangles are im a 20 gon?
18 triangles can be found in a 20-agon
How many corners do 5 squares and 3 triangles have?
Each square has four corners, and each triangle has three corners. 5 squares X 4 corners/square = 20 corners 3 triangles X 3 corners/triangle = 9 corners 20 + 9 = 29 corners total.
What is the TOTAL surface area of an icosahedron?
An icosahedron is a body enclosed by 20 triangles. The total surface area is the sum of the areas of the individual triangles. In the case of a regular icosahedron, it is of course 20 times the surface area of any of the triangles - i.e., 5 times the square root of 3 times a2, where "a" is the length of one of the sides.
How many triangles in icosagon?
20
How many pennies can you put in a 1 by 1 square?
20
How many triangles can be formed from a vertex of 20 sided polygon?
18 triangles
What are the three types of polygons that can be the faces of a Platonic solid?
The polygons are the equilateral triangle, the square, and the regular pentagon. The faces of these platonic solids are made from the following polygons: tetrahedron - 4 triangles cube - 6 squares octahedron - 8 triangles dodecahedron - 12 pentagons icosahedron - 20 triangles
How many triangles can a 20-gon be made into?
20 isosceles triangles with each base being a side of the 20-gon, and the opposite vertices at the center of the polygon.
