If a diagonal is drawn in a parallelogram then two congruent triangles are formed?
True.
The length and width of a rectangle are 8 inches and 4 inches respectively What would be the area of one of the triangles formed from drawing a diagonal in the rectangle?
A=l*w A=8*4 A=32 diagonal cuts the rectangle into two congruent triangles. 32/2 = 16
Is a diamond a rigid shape?
A diamond is not a rigid shape unless it has a brace. A brace is a diagonal line you put inside shapes to make them rigid. Triangles are rigid so if you put a brace in a square to make two triangles the square is now rigid.
What makes a square a square?
1. a square is made up of two triangles because if you draw a square and draw a diagonal line from right to left or left to right in the middle you will see how two triangles make a square.all sides should be of same length and all bond angles should be 90 in a square.
How do you work out the diameter of a rectangle?
The diameter of a rectangle is the same as its diagonal (angle in a semicircle is a right angle). So the diagonal forms a right angled triangle with the diagonal as the hypotenuse and two sides of the rectangle (a length and a breadth) forming the legs of the triangle. If the lengths of the sides of the rectangle are known, a simple application of Pythagoras's theorem given the measure of the diagonal.
A diagonal will divide a quadrilateral into two of what figure?
Two triangles
Can a rhombus be spilt into two equilateral triangles?
Yes, it can be split into two equilateral triangles,when we draw a diagonal
What two shapes are formed when the rectangle is divided by a diagonal?
Two triangles.
A diagonal separates the parallelogram into?
Two congruent triangles.. To prove it, use the SSS Postulate.
In a parallelogram a diagonal separates the parallelogram into?
two congruent triangles
What happens when the diagonal of a square is divided?
It makes two triangles.
Is it possible to have two noncongruent triangles that have two pairs of congruent angle and one pair of congruent sides?
not possible, they only have 3 sides so they have to be congruent by ASA or AAS
If a diagonal is drawn in a parallelogram then two congruent triangles are formed?
True.
A diagonal divides a square into two isosceles right triangles?
yes
What happens when a square is divided by a diagonal?
It is halved and makes two triangles
If a diagonal is drawn in a parallelogram then two congruent triangles are formed.?
Correct
A parallelogram can be split into what type of triangle?
Generally a parallelogram will be split into two scalene triangles by a diagonal; depending upon which diagonal, they will be acute or obtuse. However, it is possible for the diagonal to be the same length as one of the sides, in which case it will be split into two isosceles triangles. For the special case of the "regular" parallelogram (whereby every side is equal in length, and it is otherwise known as a Rhombus) it will generally be split into two isosceles triangles, but the diagonal could be the same length as the sides and it will be split into two equilateral triangles.
