What polygon makes up a kite?
Two equilateral triangles or one rhombus.
Is there a polygon which is not equiangular but equilateral?
Yes a rhombus has 4 equal sides but does not have 4 equal angles
What is it called when sides have the same length?
Equilateral triangle or square or rhombus or regular polygon.. All depends how many sides! * * * * * Not quite. A regular polygon also requires all angles to be the same. Once you have a polygon with more than 3 sides, they can be equilateral without being equiangular (cf square and rhombus in the above answer).
What does equilateral and equiangular mean?
The terms equiangular means a polygon having the same angle between any two adjacent sides. Equilateral means all sides of equal length. A polygon can be equilateral without being equiangular (the rhombus) and equiangular without being equilateral (the rectangle). If a polygon is both equilateral and equiangular, it is a "regular polygon" such as the pentagon, square, and equilateral triangle.
Is a triangle a small regular polygon?
A regular polygon is any polygon that has sides which are the same length and angles whose measures are equal. An equilateral triangle (also equiangular triangle) is a regular polygon. Other isosceles triangles (equilateral triangles are isosceles, but they are an exception) and scalene triangles are not regular polygons. A side note: Only in a triangle is a polygon regular solely if it is equilateral. (Since an equilateral triangle is equiangular as well). This is NOT always true in other polygons, like quadrilaterals, where it can be equilateral but not necessarily equiangular (a rhombus) or equiangular but not equilateral (a rectangle).
Why is an equilateral polygon not necessarily a regular polygon?
A regular polygon must be equiangular as well as equilateral. A rhombus is an example of a polygon that is equilateral but not equiangular.
What is an example of an equilateral polygon?
An equilateral polygon is one in which all sides are congruent. The angles may or may not be congruent. The simplest example is an equilateral triangle which must also be equiangular and so is a regular polygon. A rhombus is an equilateral quadrangle. The rhombus, in general, is not regular - only the square (a special type of rhombus) is regular.
What is an equilateral polygon that is not a regular polygon?
A rhombus has four sides of equal lengths. So it is an equilateral polygon. But it is not an equiangular. It's angles are not equal in measure.
What shape is an equilateral polygon?
Equilateral means "equal length". Polygon means "many sided shape". So an equilateral polygon is any many-sided shape where the sides are all equal in length, such as a rhombus
What is a Polygon that is both equiangular and equilateral?
A rhombus if i remember my geometry its a rhombus A rhombus is NOT equiangular. A square is the only quadrilateral with equal sides and equal angles. An equilateral triangle is also equiangular. Polygons that are equilateral and equiangular are called regular.
Is a rhombus classified as a special polygon?
It is special in some respects:It is a parallelogramIt is equilateral.
What polygon makes up a kite?
Two equilateral triangles or one rhombus.
A polygon with all sides congruent?
square * * * * * A square is an example, but is not the whole answer. A polygon wit all sides congruent is an equilateral polygon (think equilateral triangle, or a rhombus). If all the angles are also congruent, then it is a regular polygon.
Define equilateral and equiangular polygon?
An equilateral polygon is a polygon whose sides are all of the same measure. An equiangular polygon is a polygon whose angles are all of the same measure. A triangle is the only polygon where these two are effectively one and the same.. But it does not apply to polygons of 4 or more sides. A square and rhombus are equilateral but a rhombus is not equiangular. A square and rectangle are equiangular but a rectangle is not equilateral. This can be extended to all polygons with more than 4 sides but it is more difficult because they do not have distinctive names.
What is the name of a shape with equal sides?
the answer is a square * * * * * No. It is equilateral. An equilateral triangle, or a rhombus are shapes that have equal sides, but neither are a square. The answer is not a regular polygon since that also requires equal angles. A rhombus is equilateral but it is not equiangular and so not regular.
Is there a polygon which is not equiangular but equilateral?
Yes a rhombus has 4 equal sides but does not have 4 equal angles
What shape has all equal sides?
An equilateral polygon. All regular polygons, being equilateral, will have equal sides but it is not necessary that they are regular. A rhombus, for example, is equilateral but not regular.
