What else can I help you with?
Can you always cut a right triangle into two congruent triangles?
Similar, YES. Congruent, NO.
Are all congruent polygons similar?
No. You can have two triangles that are congruent to one another, and two quadrilaterals that are congruent to one another. But the triangle cannot be similar to the quadrilateral!
If an acute angle of one right triangle is congruent to an angle of a second triangle then are the triangles similar?
true.
Is a triangle and a square congruent?
NO!!! The word' congruent' means 'exactly the same' , both in size, area and shape. Since a triangle has 3 sides, and a square has four sides, they are NEITHER the same size NOR shape. They are NOT congruent, but INCONGRUENT. Do NOT confuse with 'similar'. 'Similar' means same shape, same angles, BUT different area. Both terms have specific mathematical meanings, so be careful.
What is a congruent isosceles triangle?
isosceles triangle is a triangle in which 2 of the 3 sides are equal length. the third side can be any length. there are an infinite number of such triangles. congruent just means total equal to another triangle. you only say congruent when referring to two different triangles. or you can say any triangle is congruent to itself. so if you have two isosceles triangle that are identical, then each one is a congruent isosceles triangle
Can you always cut a right triangle into two congruent triangles?
Similar, YES. Congruent, NO.
Are congruent triangles similar?
Yes, similar triangles are congruent because in order to be congruent they must first be equal. Which in turn is the definition of a similar triangle. A triangle equal in angle measurements and/or side lengths. So, yes.
Are similar triangles always congruent?
No, congruent triangles are always similar but similar triangles and not always congruent. Imagine that similar triangles can be created on a copy machine enlarge and shrink the image, turn it, even turn it over, the angles remain the same. A congruent triangle must be exactly the same as the original. Hope this helps!
Does a scalene triangle have two congruent sides?
A scalene triangle has no congruent sides, they are all different lengths.
Are all congruent polygons similar?
No. You can have two triangles that are congruent to one another, and two quadrilaterals that are congruent to one another. But the triangle cannot be similar to the quadrilateral!
Two right triangles are similar if the acute angles of one triangle are congruent to the acute angles of the other triangle?
yes there similar
Are two right triangle similar if an acute angle of one triangle is congruent to an acute angle of the other triangle?
Yes
If an acute angle of one right triangle is congruent to an angle of a second triangle then are the triangles similar?
true.
Can scalene triangle not be similar?
Providing that the interior angles are the same andhas the same shape it can be congruent or similar

Do two similar polygons have to be congruent?
no, they could be different size but same shape and be similar but not congruent.
