Can congruent figures be similar and can similar figures be congruent?
Congruent figures are always similar. However, similar figures are only sometimes congruent.
1What is the difference between congruent and similar?
Two congruent geometric figures have the same shape and the same size, whereas two similar geometric figures have the same shape but they differ in size.
What is alike and different about similar and congruent figures?
If two figures are similar or congruent, each angle of the first figure is the same as the corresponding angle of the second figure.In similar figures, the ratio of each side in the first figure to the corresponding side in the second figure is a constant. If the figures are congruent, that ratio is 1: that is, the corresponding sides are of the same measure.
Why are two figures similar if their angles are the same?
because if you shrink or grow a similar figure, it would be congruent.
If two figures are similar then are they also congruent?
No. Two figures are similar if they have same shape, and all the angles are equal; but they can have the sides of different sizes. I mean, similar figures may have different sizes, but must have the same shape.
Can congruent figures be similar and can similar figures be congruent?
Congruent figures are always similar. However, similar figures are only sometimes congruent.
What does it mean for two figures to be congruent?
Similar
Can two figures be congruent but not similar?
no because if they are conmgruent then they are similar
Can congruent figures be similar figures?
All congruent figures are similar figures, and have identical sizes.
What is the difference between similar and congruent?
Congruent means two figures have exactly the same shape and size. If the shape is identical, but not the size , two figures are similar.
Is congruent figures are always similar?
Are congruent figures always similar? Yes.
How do you compare and contrast congruent and similar?
Similar means they are of the same shape but not necessary the same size. two figure are congruents when they are of the same shape and size. congruent figures can be similar but not similar figures aren't always congruent
What is the symbol that denotes two figures are similar?
= congruent sign
What are not always true if two figures are similar?
That their sides are congruent.
How are similar and congruent figures the same?
Congruent figures are similar - in sides as well as angles. Corresonding angles of similar figures congruent but their sides are not. The sides are all in some fixed ratio. [If that ratio is 1, the figures are congruent.]
Are congruent figure similar?
Yes, congruent figures have to be similar
1What is the difference between congruent and similar?
