How to draw a hexagon?

Can 2 triangles make a square or a rectangle?

Yes, they can. To demonstrate this draw a square on a sheet of paper. Draw a line diagonally from one corner to the one opposite. Cut along this line and you will have two triangles. Take them apart; if you put them together again in the right way you will have a square. Put together in different ways you can make an isosceles triangle or an equilateral parallelogram. If you do the same thing beginning with a rectangle, you will be able to reassemble the triangles to form a rectangle, isosceles triangle or a (non-equilateral) parallelogram.


Liang said that an equilateral triangle must have angles totaling 360 degrees because he can cut it into 2 right triangles is liangs statement correct explain?

wrong. a triangle can have total of 180 deg inside anglesAny and every triangle will always have three internal angles which total 180 degrees.Equilateral triangles are special because all three angles are 60 degrees each.

How do you find the height of an equilateral triangle if you don't know its area and you only know that each side is equal to 41.3m?

Cut it exactly down the middle, along its height, and put one piece aside. The remaining side is a right triangle. The slanting side of the right triangle is a whole side of the original equilateral triangle, the bottom is half of an original side, and the vertical line is the height of the original triangle. Now you have a right triangle and you know the lengths of two of its sides, so you use what you know about right triangles to find the length of the third side, which is the height of the original equilateral triangle. It turns out to be 0.866 times the side of the equilateral triangle. (rounded) Technically, that's (1/2) x (side) x sqrt(3)


Can you always cut a right triangle into two congruent triangles?
