Congruent and similar figures have congruent angles True or false?
True.
Are figures with congruent angles always similar?
yes they are because they have congruent sides
Are two congruent figures similar?
Yes, congruent means same size and shape.
What is the difference between congruent and similar figures?
Congruent figures have exactly the same shape; you could superimpose one on the other and see only one figure. Similar figures have some points of similarity but do not have to be exactly the same.
What is alike and different about similar and congruent figures?
If two figures are similar or congruent, each angle of the first figure is the same as the corresponding angle of the second figure.In similar figures, the ratio of each side in the first figure to the corresponding side in the second figure is a constant. If the figures are congruent, that ratio is 1: that is, the corresponding sides are of the same measure.
Can congruent figures be similar figures?
All congruent figures are similar figures, and have identical sizes.
Is congruent figures are always similar?
Are congruent figures always similar? Yes.
How are similar and congruent figures the same?
Congruent figures are similar - in sides as well as angles. Corresonding angles of similar figures congruent but their sides are not. The sides are all in some fixed ratio. [If that ratio is 1, the figures are congruent.]
Are congruent figure similar?
Yes, congruent figures have to be similar
What is different about similar and congruent figures?
Congruent figures are identical in dimensions and angles whereas similar figures have dimensions in proportion to congruent figures but both have exactly the same angles.
What is different about similar figure and congruent figures?
Congruent figures are identical in dimensions and angles whereas similar figures have dimensions in proportion to congruent figures but both have exactly the same angles.
Are similar figures also congruent figures?
no
Are all similar figures congruent?
Yes, but they are more than similar - they are congruent.
Congruent and similar figures have congruent angles True or false?
True.
How do you compare and contrast congruent and similar?
Similar means they are of the same shape but not necessary the same size. two figure are congruents when they are of the same shape and size. congruent figures can be similar but not similar figures aren't always congruent
Can two figures be congruent but not similar?
no because if they are conmgruent then they are similar
What does it mean for two figures to be congruent?
Similar
