--any shapes with proportionally equal sides are "Similar"
if you had a rectangle with one side hat was 4 and the other 8 and another rectangle with sides 8 and 16, you would have proportionally equal sides because (4/8)=(8/16)

SIMILAR:)
Which figures are always similar in geometry?
Circles and all regular polygons.
In geometry what does similar mean?
In geometry, similar refers to two figures that have the same shape but may differ in size. Specifically, similar figures have corresponding angles that are equal and corresponding sides that are proportional in length.
Are congruent figures always similar figures?
Yes, congruence is a stronger condition than similarity.
What term in geometry is in this definition Two figures are similar if and only if they have all their corresponding scale factor are congruentand all their corresponding are proportional?
Not sure about geometry but the definition contains a redundant repetition.
