Why cant you use angle angle angle to prove 2 traingles congruent?
Because if you take a triangle and double the length of each side, you get a much bigger triangle which is therefore not congruent (they do not match in every respect, even though the angles are replicated). In this case they are called "similar".
How do you solve your math problems dealing with similar figures?
Any two corresponding sides in two similar figures have a common ratio called the scale factor. Since the figures are similar, the ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides of the figures are equal. 1. Match a side of both figures, 2. write the proportions 3. substitute the values 4. Write the cross product 5. Divide both sides by a common factor 6. simplify 7. Convert improper fraction into mixed number
What are the figures that match exactly when folded in half have?
Line Symetry
What quadirlateral is formed by 2 right scalene triangles?
If the triangles are congruent and you match the hypotenera the right way, you can get a rectangle. If the triangles are not congruent, you can't even necessarily get a quadrilateral.
What two figures have two or more halves that match exactly?
Any symmetrical figure has two halves that match. By definition, you cannot have more than two halves of a figure.
