Yes, congruent means same size and shape.
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.
What is a figure that has two congruent faces?
Prisms are three dimensional figures that always have two congruent faces. The congruent faces are also parallel to one another.
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
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.
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
Are two congruent figures similar?
Yes, congruent means same size and shape.
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.
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.
When are two similar figures also congruent?
If the scale factor is 1. That is, if a pair of corresponding sides are the same length.
When two plane figures have congruent angles and porportional sides they are?
... similar.
How do you know if two figures are similar or congruent?
congruent figures are the same shape and the same size while similar figures are the same shape but different sizes and it doesn't matter which way the shape is facing
The transitive property holds for similar figures?
The transitive property states that if A is equal to B, and B is equal to C, then A is equal to C. In the context of similar figures, this property holds true. If two figures are similar, and one figure is congruent to a third figure, then the second figure is also congruent to the third figure.
