No because a right ange triangle has a 90 degree angle and 2 acute angles whereas an acute triangle has 3 acute angles all of which are less than 90 degrees

Two right triangles are similar if the acute angles of one triangle are congruent to the acute angles of the other triangle?

yes there similar


Are all scalene triangles acute triangles?

No, scalene triangles can be obtuse, right or acute triangles. A 3 - 4 -5 right triangle (lengths of the sides) is one example of a right-scalene triangle. In fact, with the exception of the [45°, 45°, 90°] right triangle (which is isosceles) all other right triangles are scalene.


'True or false Two right triangles are similar if an acute angle of one triangle is congruent to an acute angle of the other triangle'?

Sounds true to me, all three angles are congruent...


Are all acute and right triangles similar?

no


What are the four congruence theorems for a right triangle?

The four congruence theorem for right triangles are:- LL Congruence Theorem --> If the two legs of a right triangle is congruent to the corresponding two legs of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.- LA Congruence Theorem --> If a leg and an acute angle of a right triangles is congruent to the corresponding leg and acute angle of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.- HA Congruence Theorem --> If the hypotenuse and an acute angle of a right triangle is congruent to the corresponding hypotenuse and acute angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.- HL Congruence Theorem --> If the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle is congruent to the corresponding hypotenuse and leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Are two right triangles similar if an acute angle of one triangle is congruent to an acute angle of the other triangle?

Yes, you have two congruent angles in each triangle, one right and one acute so the third angles must be equal also.

Two right triangles that are not similar still may have one congruent acute angle in common?

Not so. The two acute angles of a right triangle must add up to 90 degrees.So if the triangles have one congruent acute angle in common, they must alsohave the other acute angle in common, and then they're similar.
