OpenStudy (bibby):

looks like all the sides are of the same length and all the angles are congruent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so which one is it ;c

OpenStudy (bibby):

the definition of equiangular = a polygon whose vertex angles are equal. the definition of equilateral = a polygon whose side lengths are all equal.

Oh ok, well in my textbook it didnt say that so im like here confused asf,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (bibby):

sides with the same amount of lines going through them are congruent. for example:|dw:1422038131912:dw| the sides with 2 lines are congruent

OpenStudy (bibby):

|dw:1422038291120:dw| likewise, the sides with one line going through it are congruent the angles with one line are equal the angles with two lines are equal

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

he is saying that the answer is C :)

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

because the symbols between the angles and sides (the ones he drew and appear on the picture) mean that the angles and sides are equal/congruent

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

but hold on

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

|dw:1422038559388:dw| that is the real symbol that is supposed to be there when the angles are the same terefore I don't think you are right @bibby
