A square of identical shape but not size is similar. For example, a square is always a square, whether big or small. Or, a box with 4 sides with exactly the same top and bottom will be similar, but these similar or identical boxes can be tiny....or huge. A circle will be similar to other circles, but size could differ.

Are two hexagon always similar to each other?
No. Two regular hexagons are always similar to each other, but two random hexagons are not necessarily similar.
Which quadrilaterals are always similar to each other?
Parallelogram
Are two regular hexagons are sometimes always or new similar to each other?
always
Why do the angles stay the same if you enlarge or reduce a figure?
Because the figures are said to be similar to each other and retain the same angles
Are rectangles always similar to each other?
Similar shapes need to have the same number of sides, the same angles and the ratio of the sides needs to be the same. Rectangles are not always similar to each other because they can have different dimensions, which would break the "same ratio" rule.
Are two hexagon always similar to each other?
No. Two regular hexagons are always similar to each other, but two random hexagons are not necessarily similar.
How can i tell when figures are similar?
When they have the same interior angles and their sides are proportional to each other.
What are figures when they have the same size and shape?
They are congruent. Figures that only have the same size or only have the same shape as each other are "similar".
How do you find the value of a variable in similar figures?
the figures are similar. Find the value of each variable. solve

always
Why all congruent figures are similar but not all similar figures are congruent?
Take the triangle for instance, there are 3 types. One is the same on each side which is the equilateral. But the other 2 types are flat on 2 sides and diagonal on the other side.
Do similar triangles always have congruent angles?
Yes, in similar triangles, the angles are always congruent, and the sides have the same proportions to each other.

Are Two isosceles triangles are sometimes always or never similar to each other?
Sometimes.
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.
