How can two objects of similar shape and size have different densities?

They can have similar shape, similar size and even similar identity (say, wood) and still be of vastly different density. Consider a block of Balsa wood the size of the book "Gone with the Wind". Weigh it. Now consider a block of Sugar Maple or Hickory exactly the same size. Weigh it. It will be muchheavier than the Balsa. The difference is the density.

What are two figures that have the same shape but are different sizes?
similar objects
How can two items have the same shape and size have different densities?
It doesn't have the same density because the two items can be different masses.
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.
What is the definition of similar shape?
similar shapes are shapes that have the same angles but are different sizes.

Do objects of the same size and shape have the same mass?
No, not unless they are made of the same substance. Different substances have different densities, which means that the same volumes will have different masses.
Have the same shape but not same size?
Similar objects.
How can two items have the same shape and size have different densities?
It doesn't have the same density because the two items can be different masses.
What are congruent objects?
Congruent objects are two or more objects that have the same shape and size, where one object can be mapped onto the other through rigid motions such as translations, rotations, and reflections. Essentially, congruent objects are identical in every way except for their position and orientation in space.
What is a shape with the same shape but different size what is that called?
Similar.
What are the 3 things same size same shape but different weight?
Anything with varying densities have different weights even though they are the same size and shape. For example, lead, plastic, and wood.
Do objects of different weights but similar size and shape fall to the ground at the same rate?
Yes. In the absence of air, it doesn't even matter how their shapes and sizes compare.
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.
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.
What is the definition of similar shape?
similar shapes are shapes that have the same angles but are different sizes.
