What are polygons that have the same shape but not the same size?
They are said to be similar by proportion
What is the definition of similar figures?
Similar figures are polygons with the same shape but a different size. eg: 5cm square compared to a 10cm square = similar figures. Same shape but different size.
Polygons that have the same shape and size are?
congruent
How do you write a congruence statement for polygons?
You have to see it both the polygons measures to the same degree's & the same shape then that make's it congruent.
Are any two regular polygons with the same number of sides similar?
Yes, regular polygons will have all sides equal length, and all angles the same. If two polygons of the same number of sides are 'regular' then those two polygons will be similar (they may be scaled, for example).
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.
Do similar polygons have the same shape?
Yes and the same angles
Polygons that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size?
They are similar
How do you know if polygons are similar?
If they are the same shape and size
Does similar polygons always have the same area?
no. similar polygons do not have the same area. similar just means that they have the same angle measurements and are proportional.
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
