I think a rectangle is NOT made up of congruent shapes because it only does not have triangles.

What triangles will form a kite?

A kite is a quadrilateral with two distinct pairs of adjacent sides that are congruent. In terms of triangles, a kite can be formed by two congruent right triangles sharing a hypotenuse, or by two congruent isosceles triangles sharing a base. Additionally, a kite can also be formed by combining two congruent scalene triangles with a shared side.


Can all 4 sided shape be made by two right angled triangles?

Absolutely. Any two congruent right triangles will form a rectangle, and if the right triangles are isosceles right triangles, they will form a square.


What is a polygon that is made up of 22 triangles?

Assuming ALL 22 triangles are congruent, this would be a 22-gon, also known as an icositedigon


What shape is made out of two congruent triangles?

If you have 2 EQUILATERAL triangles, and you stack them on their respective hypotenuses, the result: SQUARE. If you have 2 ISOSCELES triangles, and you stack them on their respective hypotenuses, the result: RECTANGLE. If you have 2 OBTUSE triangles, and you stack them on their respective hypotenuses, the result: PARALLELOGRAM.


What is a polyhedron called that is made from 4 triangles that are not equal?

A polyhedron made from four triangles that are not equal is called a tetrahedron. Specifically, if the triangles are not congruent, it is referred to as an irregular tetrahedron. Tetrahedra are three-dimensional shapes with four triangular faces, six edges, and four vertices.


Why are the diagonals of a parallelogram not congruent?

If you look ate the parallelogram you'll see two kinds of triangles. Two that have longer diagonal and bigger angle, and two sides of parallelogram. Then, you have two triangles that have two sides of parallelogram, shorter diagonal and smaller angle. This triangles obviously have two sides that are the same (sides of parallelogram). If this two triangles had been congruent diagonals would have been congruent too, since these triangles would have been congruent. But this is not true unless angles of parallelogram are the same, therefore diagonals cannot be the same length. Of course, there are parallelograms that have same angles, and those are square and rectangle, which do have the same angles. I hope I made this more clear, and I'm sorry for my bad English.
