Similar, in geometry, means that the shape has the same angles in degrees as another shape. They do not, however, need to have the same length on their sides.
Synonym Means The Same as.
NO!!!! All squares are 'similar'. Congruency means the same size, shape, angles and area. Squares can have same shape, same angles, but different areas,. Hence they are NOT congruent, but Similar. Similar, means same angles, same shape, but NOT same area. Both 'Congruency' and 'Similar' are well defined mathematical terms.
Similar
"Similar" is a word that means nearly the same as "like."
That means it all looks the same or similar.
Similar means the same or alike, and dissimilar is the opposite of similar.
In mathematics , NO!!!! e.g. two triangles can be SIMILAR. That is they have the same angles, but the sides a proportionally lomger/shorter. Thereby the areas are different. NB Do NOT confuse SIMILARITY with CONGRUENCY. Congruency means the triangles have the same angles AND the same side lengths. . Thereby the same area.
A synonym is something that means the same or similar to something else. Just think, "Same, Similar." The first letter of 'synonym' is "s". Same with the word "same/similar". So the "s" in "synonym" means same, similar. Easy right??
No. It means similar to.
Well, similar means the same and dissimilar means different, so the difference is that they are different.
Same means they are Identical with no differences, similar means they are almost identical but have some minor differences. Same: Touch, look and feel are identical. Example, i have the same brand shoe as yours. Similar: Look the same but different. Example, I wear similar shirt as yours. Here the shirt can be from the same brand or same size or color but if it is the same then it should be one not two.
Elements in the same family-assuming family means classifications such as non-metals, metals-have similar properties.
