Isosceles
Isosceles
Correct
Two triangles.
When a diagonal is drawn in a parallelogram, it splits the shape into two congruent triangles. Each of these triangles is further divided by the other diagonal, resulting in a total of four smaller triangles within the parallelogram. These triangles are all formed by the intersection of the diagonals and the vertices of the parallelogram. As a result, the diagonal effectively segments the parallelogram into four distinct triangular areas.
A square can be divided into two right triangles by drawing a diagonal from one corner to the opposite corner. Each right triangle formed will have two sides equal to the length of the square's sides, and the diagonal serves as the hypotenuse. This relationship highlights the properties of right triangles, including the Pythagorean theorem, which can be applied to find the length of the diagonal. Additionally, both shapes share the property of having right angles, with the square being a specific type of quadrilateral.

The name of the shapes formed are triangles.
you can't, because the Pythagorean theorem is for right triangles and the triangles formed by the diagonal of a parallelogram are not right triangles.

Each right triangle formed will have two sides equal to the length of the square's sides, and the diagonal serves as the hypotenuse.

Two right angle triangles, normally scalene triangles. However, if the rectangle is for example a square, then it would be two isosceles triangles.
Yes, since all the sides of a square are equal and the definition of an isosceles triangle is to have at least two congruent sides. The congruent triangles formed are 45-45-90 triangles, so the diagonal will be the longest side with the right angle formed where the two sides of the square meet.
Yes, all parallelograms can be split into two congruent triangles. This is achieved by drawing a diagonal line connecting two opposite vertices. This diagonal divides the parallelogram into two triangles that are congruent by the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) postulate, as they share a side (the diagonal), and the angles formed at the vertices are equal.
Drawing a diagonal in a parallelogram divides it into two triangles that share the same base (the diagonal) and have equal heights, as the opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal in length and parallel. Additionally, each triangle has two sides that are equal to the lengths of the corresponding sides of the parallelogram. By the Side-Side-Side (SSS) congruence criterion, the two triangles formed by the diagonal are congruent. Thus, any diagonal in a parallelogram always results in two congruent triangles.
