Geometric shapes that are identical in size and shape are congruent.
What is the problem if angles are not congruent?
None! If the angles are not congruent then the shapes are not similar of congruent. But that is not a problem. The angles of an equilateral triangle are not congruent to the angles of a square but that does not mean that you cannot work with equilateral triangles or squares!
Can two shapes be congruent and not similar?
In short, no. Similar shapes are shapes in which all corresponding angles congruent regardless of the length of the sides. Congruent shapes have congruent corresponding angles and corresponding sides. In effect congruent shapes is a special condition of similar shapes.
What is does congruent means?
Congruent means that two shapes are the same size and shape. When two shapes are congruent, all corresponding sides and angles are equal.
