are congruent triangles also similar?
62
If two pairs of corresponding angles in a pair of triangles are congruent, then the triangles are similar. We know this because if two angle pairs are the same, then the third pair must also be equal. When the three angle pairs are all equal, the three pairs of sides must also be in proportion.

Explanation: Though we must do a little work, we can show these triangles are similar. First, right triangles are not necessarily always similar. ... Given that the angle between the two legs is a right angle in each triangle, these angles are congruent.

Congruent Triangles Two triangles are congruent if they are exactly the same size and shape, which means they have the same angle measures and the same side lengths. If we know that all the sides and all the angles are congruent in two triangles, then we know that the two triangles are congruent.

In similar figures, the angles are congruent, even if the sides are not. Notice that one angle in each pair of figures corresponds to an angle in the other figure. They have the same shape but not the same size. Therefore they are similar.

No, all isosceles triangles are not similar. An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two sides of equal length.

In any triangle, the mid-sized side and mid-sized angle are opposite one another. If two sides are congruent (equal in measure), then the corresponding two angles will be congruent (equal in measure).

Why or why not? Yes, all the angles of each of the triangles are acute. Yes, they are congruent by either ASA or AAS. ... No, the congruent sides do not correspond.

If two angles of a triangle have measures equal to the measures of two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar. Corresponding sides of similar polygons are in proportion, and corresponding angles of similar polygons have the same measure.

Answer and Explanation: The diagonals of a trapezoid are only congruent (have the same length) if the trapezoid is an isosceles trapezoid.

Congruent triangles sharing a common side To be congruent two triangles must be the same shape and size. However they can share a side, and as long as they are otherwise identical, the triangles are still congruent. In the figure below, the triangle LQR is congruent to PQR even though they share the side QR.

Yes, two right isosceles triangles are always similar.

The lengths of the sides and the measures of the angles are identical. They're exact copies, even if one is oriented differently. Similar shapes are figures with the same shape but not always the same size. Because the shapes are proportional to each other, the angles will remain congruent.

Yes, triangles PQR and STR are similar because all of the angles are congruent. For example, <PQR and <SRT are alternate interior angles. Also, <RPQ and <RST are automatically the same because they are both right angles.

The diagonals have the following properties: The two diagonals are congruent (same length). ... In other words, the point where the diagonals intersect (cross), divides each diagonal into two equal parts. Each diagonal divides the rectangle into two congruent right triangles.

First, right triangles are not necessarily always similar. ... In both cases, the leg of the larger triangle is twice as long as the corresponding leg in the smaller triangle. Given that the angle between the two legs is a right angle in each triangle, these angles are congruent.

Conditions for similar polygons. We say two figures are similar if they have the same shape, but not necessarily the same size. If they also have the same size, we say they are congruent. ... If two figures are congruent, then they are also similar.
