  2. Similarity (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Similarity_(geometry)

    Any two pairs of angles are congruent, [4] which in Euclidean geometry implies that all three angles are congruent: [a] If ∠BAC is equal in measure to ∠B'A'C', and ∠ABC is equal in measure to ∠A'B'C', then this implies that ∠ACB is equal in measure to ∠A'C'B' and the triangles are similar. All the corresponding sides are ...

  3. Congruence (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congruence_(geometry)

    In elementary geometry the word congruent is often used as follows. [2] The word equal is often used in place of congruent for these objects. Two line segments are congruent if they have the same length. Two angles are congruent if they have the same measure. Two circles are congruent if they have the same diameter.

  4. Triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle

    All pairs of congruent triangles are also similar, but not all pairs of similar triangles are congruent. Given two congruent triangles, all pairs of corresponding interior angles are equal in measure, and all pairs of corresponding sides have the same length. This is a total of six equalities, but three are often sufficient to prove congruence ...

  5. Equilateral triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equilateral_triangle

    An equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides have the same length, and all three angles are equal. Because of these properties, the equilateral triangle is a regular polygon, occasionally known as the regular triangle. It is the special case of an isosceles triangle by modern definition, creating more special properties.

  7. Kite (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kite_(geometry)

    Alternatively, the area can be calculated by dividing the kite into two congruent triangles and applying the SAS formula for their area. If a {\displaystyle a} and b {\displaystyle b} are the lengths of two sides of the kite, and θ {\displaystyle \theta } is the angle between, then the area is [ 27 ] A = a b ⋅ sin ⁡ θ . {\displaystyle ...

  8. Regular polygon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_polygon

    These properties apply to all regular polygons, whether convex or star: A regular n-sided polygon has rotational symmetry of order n. All vertices of a regular polygon lie on a common circle (the circumscribed circle); i.e., they are concyclic points. That is, a regular polygon is a cyclic polygon.

  9. Equilateral polygon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equilateral_polygon

    Except in the triangle case, an equilateral polygon does not need to also be equiangular (have all angles equal), but if it does then it is a regular polygon. If the number of sides is at least four, an equilateral polygon does not need to be a convex polygon: it could be concave or even self-intersecting.
