True or False Math Question?????

True or False??? Any two triangles with the same side lengths have the same area.





Explain if you can, it dosen't matterTrue or False Math Question?????
I would say true. It just makes sense that if the triangles have the same side lengths, then they would be the same triangle, so... same area.True or False Math Question?????
I would say true:





No matter how you rearrange which side is where, you still have the same triangle, since each side is still making a corner with each of the other two. The most you can do to it is flip it over, but that won't change the area.

false. Look at it this way, if the two sides are for example 8 inches they could be close together (like the letter V) and then the other connecting line will be short. if the same length sides are far apart, the connecting line will be longer increasing the area
I say true...trust me..!!
It would seem so; the area of a triangle has directly to do with the side lengths so I can't see how that could not be true.
true because all equilateral triangles are congruent so they have to have the same area
true! DUH
false
True
This is true my child. If you draw the two triangles and measure them from the isosolies angle of the matter you will find that the sum of the two is the same. LOL Did I sound smart?
False.
true - based on congruent triangles
True. If all three sides lengths are the same, then the area will be the same. Imagine a piece of paper cut in the shape of a triangle. No matter how you rotate or flip it, it is still the same amount of paper, and therefore the same area. Any other triangle cut from paper with the same side lengths as the first could be rotated or flipped to perfectly cover the first with no extra area, because they are identical.
That's true. Any unbound triangle (you don't care about it's position) can be described entirely by it's side lengths.
Yes! For example, you have the first triangle and it measures 12-15-18, the second triangle also has the same measures of sides. Multiply the base and the height and divide it by 2. They have the same sides so they will have the same answer. But if you mixed up all the measures of the sides. Then the answer would differ for both of the triangles.
