Why can't a rectangle and a square be congruent?
In some cases, a rectangle and a square can be congruent. A square is counted as a rectangle, thus a rectangle can be congruent to a square.
What are the properties of a square that are not properties of a rhombus?
A square has 4 congruent sides and 4 congruent angles
Are the diagonals of a square always congruent?
Yes the diagonals of a square are always congruent. Their length is a*root 2 where a is the side of the square.
What is a quadrilateral that has four congruent sides and its diagonals are congruent?
Square.
Is a square congruent?
Yes it has 4 congruent sides and angles
How do you divide in 2 equal parts a square?
First join up the two diagonals : they will cross in the middle.Pick any point on any side of the square. Draw a line joining that point to the centre and extend to the opposite side. This line will divide the square into two congruent halves.
Are square diagonals divide it into congruent triangles?
Yes
Does 2 diagonals of a square divide it into 4 congruent triangles?
0.5
Which type of quarilateral has diagonals that will always divide it into four congruent triangles?
Only the square has.
How do you divide a square into 20 equal parts?
Divide a pair of opposite sides into 20 and then join the opposing points. This will create 20 congruent strips.
Why can't a rectangle and a square be congruent?
In some cases, a rectangle and a square can be congruent. A square is counted as a rectangle, thus a rectangle can be congruent to a square.
What are the pairs of congruent sides for a square?
All sides of a square are congruent.
Is a parallelogram with congruent sides a square?
No. If you made a parallelogram with congruent sides it wouldn't necessarily have congruent angles. A square has to have congruent angles as well as congruent sides.
Four ways to show how to divide a square in two equal halves how do we show four ways to divide a square into two halves?
Four axes of symmetry: vertical axis, horizontal, positive diagonal (bottom left to top right) and negative diagonal (top left to bottom right). In fact, any straight line through the centre of the square divides it into two halves so there are an infinite number of ways, not just four. And the above are without looking at symmetric curves through the centre of the square.
What are 3 different ways to make 8 equal parts of a square?
Divide a vertical side into 8. Draw lines parallel to a horizontal side. You will have 8 horizontal strips.Divide a horizontal side into 8. Draw lines parallel to a vertical side. You will have 8 vertical strips.Divide the square in half horizontally, divide both halves horizontally and then divide them all vertically.Divide the square in half horizontally, divide both halves vertically and then divide them all vertically again.These are some. There are also methods involving diagonal divisions or L-shaped pieces.
Are a square and a triangle congruent?
yes they are congruent because a triangle is half of a square
A circle inscribed in a square its diameter is congruent to?
Its diameter is congruent to a side of square.
