Can two pentagons be congruent by a Side side side side side congruence theorem like triangle congruence theorems?

Not in general. Imagine making a pentagon out of sticks connected with hinges for the vertexes. You can bend it all around, making pentagons that are not congruent to the original, even though the sides remain the same length.
A similar triangle would be rigid, even if the corners were connected with hinges.

What is rhs congruence triangle?
A triangle having 3 congruent sides is an equilateral triangle
What is HYL Congruence Theorem?
HyL Congruence Theorem : if a leg and the hypotenuse of one right triangle are congruent to a corresponding leg and the hypotenuse of another right triangle,then the triangles are congruent._eytiin cu ;)
What is the meaning of hypothenuse leg congruence?
If the hypothenuse and leg of one triangle are congruent to the hypothenuse and leg of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
What states that if the sides of one triangle are congruent to the sides of a second triangle then the triangles are congruent?
It is a congruence theorem. There are several of them and they are not all numbered the same way.
What are congruence triangle?
Triangles that have the same dimensions and the same 3 interior angles are said to be congruent to each other.
What are the 2 triangle congruence theorems?
The two triangle congruence theorems are the AAS(Angle-Angle-Side) and HL(Hypotenuse-Leg) congruence theorems. The AAS congruence theorem states that if two angles and a nonincluded side in one triangle are congruent to two angles and a nonincluded side in another triangle, the two triangles are congruent. In the HL congruence theorem, if the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right triangle, the two triangles are congruent.
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.

What is LL Congruence Theorem?

What is the meaning of hypothenuse leg congruence?
If the hypothenuse and leg of one triangle are congruent to the hypothenuse and leg of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
What is HA Congruence Theorem?
HA Congruence Theorem says: If the hypotenuse and an acute angle of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and an acute angle of another right triangle, then the two right triangles are congruent.
What are the four congruence postulates?
The postulates that involve congruence are the following :SSS (Side-Side-Side) Congruence Postulate - If three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.SAS (Side-Angle-Side) Congruence Postulate - If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) Congruence Postulate - If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.The two other congruence postulates are :AA (Angle-Angle) Similarity Postulate - If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, the triangles are similar.Corresponding Angles Postulate - If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of corresponding angles are congruent.
What are not congruence theorems?
I am guessing you are interested in triangles. Here are two false triangle congruence theorem conjectures.1, If the angles of one triangle are equal respectively to the angles of another triangle, the triangles are congruent. ( abbreviated AAA).2. If two sides and one angle of a triangle are equal respectively the two sides and one angle of another triangle, the triangles are congruent. (abbreviated SSA)Comment: Draw triangles with pairs of equal sides but in which the included angle between the equal sides is acute in one case and obtuse in the others.
What states that if the sides of one triangle are congruent to the sides of a second triangle then the triangles are congruent?
It is a congruence theorem. There are several of them and they are not all numbered the same way.
