Apart from both being a geometric 2D shape, there is little similarity between the two. A rectangle has four parallel sides and a right-angle in each of the four corners. A right-angle triangle has three sides and only a right-angle in one corner.

How do you make a triangle with 2 triangles and 1 rectangle?
If the 2 triangles are right triangles, which are congruent to slicing the rectangle on the diagonal, then arrange one on top of the rectangle, and the other to the side, so that the two hypotenuses are in line with each other. This will make a bigger right triangle, which is similar to the smaller right triangles - each side is double of the smaller triangles.
How is a rectangle different than a right triangle?
A rectangle has four sides whereas a right angle triangle has only three sides.
Which shapes have right angles?
right triangle square rectangle
What is the differences in a triangle and a rectangle?
The main differences are. A triangle is three sided while a rectangle is four sided. The corners of a triangle can be any angle. All corners of a rectangle must be 90 degrees. This means that the left and right sides are parallel, and the top and bottom sides are parallel.
If you split a rectangle into 2 triangles what type of triangle do you get?
A 30-60-90 right triangle
Does a right triangle or a rectangle have the most right angles?
Rectangle has more right angles than the right triangle. The right triangle only has 1 right angle, while the rectangle has 4.
What are some shapes that begin with the letter R?

Is a rectangle and a triangle similar?
Rectangle has 4 sides, and triangle has 3 sides. So they are similar, they both have sides - one has more than the other :)
Is a triangle and rectangle congruent?
No, a triangle and a rectangle are not congruent. Congruent means exactly the same size and shape. A triangle has 3 sides while a rectangle has four. A triangle's three angles always add up to 180 degrees where as a rectangle's four right angles always equal 360 degrees. They are not congruent- not even similar- at all.
Can a triangle be similar to a rectangle?
Not normally but they are both polygons
What is the difference between a rectangle and a right triangle?

What kind of triangle does a rectangle make with a diagonal?

How i a rectangle and right triangle alike?
They are alike inasmuch that a rectangle can be split into two right angle triangles
Does a pentagon rectangle and a right triangle have symmetrical lines?
