Is this correct? triangles

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

I think this is false hold on let me check

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070410172519AAk8c1P people are saying false as well

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

but your question does say sometimes

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

yeah I think false since the bottom area is missing and it would have to be similar as well :/

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

i think it is true because isosceles triangles have two equal angles every time

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

It's pair of isosceles triangle @OtherWorldly

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

ok so...?

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

A single isosceles triangle do have the property of possessing equal Angles but we r asked about similarity between two different isosceles triangle

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

to be similar the third side would also have to be the same

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

and equilateral triangle is always similar

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

If we take two congruent isosceles triangle then those two triangle can also be counted similar

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

well then i guess u got ur answer @quickstudent its false

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

yup

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

Two congruent isosceles triangle may be similar. My opinion is true

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

But I don't understand, can't two isosceles triangles have the same angle measures? I'm sure that could happen sometimes, and that would make them similar, right?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

I guess I'm bias because they could be but most of the time they are not similar
