Question

how many different quadrilaterals are you able to compose using the two copies of triangle r? explain the process you used to compose a quadrilateral using the identical triangles. you may revisit the geogebra activity if needed. you can start your response with: • i was able to create ____ quadrilaterals. • i built each quadrilateral by...

Explanation:

Step1: Consider side - matching

When combining two identical triangles to form a quadrilateral, we match their sides.

Step2: Analyze side - pairing

There are 3 pairs of sides of the triangle that can be joined together. Each side - pairing gives a different quadrilateral.

Answer:

I was able to create 3 quadrilaterals. I built each quadrilateral by joining one of the three pairs of corresponding sides of the two identical triangles together.
