Do two polygons which are similar have the same shape?
Similar polygons are polygons for which all corresponding angles are congruent and all corresponding sides are proportional. From this definition we can say they have the same shape.
Two polygons with same shape not size?
The polygons are said to be similar.
Polygons that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size?
They are similar
Are similar polygons always the same shape?
Yes
How do you know if polygons are similar?
If they are the same shape and size
What are polygons that have the same shape but not the same size?
They are said to be similar by proportion
What do you call polygons with the same shape but not exactly the same size?
The are similar
Is a square and rectangle similar to a trapiziod?
Similar polygons have congruent angles and the same shape (but not necessarily the same size). Since the shape of a square and a rectangle is different from the shape of a trapezoid, they are not similar to it.
Do two similar polygons have to be congruent?
no, they could be different size but same shape and be similar but not congruent.
Why are congruent polygons similar?
Because congruent technicly means the same so that means those polygons are the same. They are different in size but have the same shape.
How do you know if a pair of polygons are similar?
They are both the same shape but different sizes
What is the definition of similar figures?
