Yes, let's take two different rectangles:

  • The first one is 4 inches by 5 inches.
  • The second is 2 inches by 10 inches.

Both of these have an area of 20 square inches, and they are not congruent. You could also have one: 1 inch by 20 inches, 1/2 inch by 40 inches, etc.

Are 2 rectangles congruent?

Two rectangles are congruent if they have the same dimensions, meaning their lengths and widths are equal. This implies that they can be superimposed on one another without any gaps or overlaps. If the dimensions differ, the rectangles are not congruent, even if they have the same area.


Is it true that two rectangles are always congruent?

No, two rectangles are not always congruent. Two rectangles are considered congruent if they have the same dimensions, meaning both their lengths and widths are equal. However, rectangles can have different dimensions and still be rectangles, making them non-congruent.


If two rectangles have the same area do they also have to have the same perimeter?

Not necessarily. Let's say that there is a circle with the area of 10. Now there is a star with the area of 10. They do not have the same perimeter, do they? That still applies with rectangles. There might be a very long skinny rectangle and a square next to each other with the same area, but that does not mean that they have the same perimeter. Now if the rectangles are congruent then yes.


Are rectangles congruent?

yes rectangles are congruent.


Would Two rectangles that have a same perimeter are congruent?

No


Must 2 rectangles be congruent if they have the same perimeter?

No, two rectangles do not have to be congruent if they have the same perimeter. Rectangles can have the same perimeter while differing in their length and width. For example, a rectangle with dimensions 4x6 has the same perimeter (20 units) as a rectangle with dimensions 5x5, but they are not congruent since their shapes and sizes differ.


Why are two rectangles with the same perimeter congruent?

They need not be congruent so the question is based on a fallacy.


Are some rectangles simialar?

YES!!! 'Similar' in mathematics means that the sides and area are in given proportions. 'Congruent' in mathematics means that two shapes have the same length of sides and the same area, AND the same angular values.


If two rectangles have the same perimeter, do they have to be congruent?

if you mean congruent as allowing to rotate, reflect then yes 1 likely though


Do all rectangles have four congruent sides?

No, only those rectangles that are squares have four congruent sides.


What is the net of a rectangular prism?

Six rectangles. Three pairs of congruent rectangles. Imagine a standard box unfolded. The two ends are the same, the sides are the same and the top and bottom are the same.


Can all rectangles be divided into to congruent rectangles?

Yes, into infinitely many sets of congruent rectangles. In fact, all plane shapes - including totally random ones - can be divided into sets of congruent shapes.
