What is the difference between congruent and similar figures?
Congruent figures have exactly the same shape; you could superimpose one on the other and see only one figure. Similar figures have some points of similarity but do not have to be exactly the same.
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 transformation will result in a similar figure?
An enlargement transformation will give the result of a similar shape.
Which sequence of tranformations may result in an image that is similar but not congruent to the original figure?
The transformation process is an 'enlargement'
Are congruent figure similar?
Yes, congruent figures have to be similar
Are corresponding angles of similar figure always congruent?
Yes, they are.
What is the difference between congruent and similar figures?
Congruent figures have exactly the same shape; you could superimpose one on the other and see only one figure. Similar figures have some points of similarity but do not have to be exactly the same.
Is a figure with a scale factor of 1 congruent or similar?
Congruent.
What is a similar figure with the same proportion?
A congruent figure.
Which of the transformations will produce a similar but not congruent figure?
A dilation would produce a similar figure.
How can a similar figure not be congruent?
if the angles of a figure are the same but the sides aren't, it is similiar. Congruent is angles and sides exactly the same
What transformation will produce a figure that is similar but not congruent?
A transformation that produces a figure that is similar but not congruent is a dilation. Dilation involves resizing a figure by a scale factor, which increases or decreases the size while maintaining the same shape and proportional relationships of the sides and angles. As a result, the new figure will have the same shape as the original but will differ in size, making them similar but not congruent.
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 transformation produces a figure that is similar but not congruent?
A transformation that produces a figure that is similar but not congruent is a dilation. In a dilation, a figure is resized proportionally from a center point, resulting in a shape that maintains the same angles but alters side lengths. This means that while the two figures have the same shape, they differ in size, making them similar but not congruent.
What is different about similar figure and congruent figures?
Congruent figures are identical in dimensions and angles whereas similar figures have dimensions in proportion to congruent figures but both have exactly the same angles.
Is a figure similar if the sides and angles are congruent?
Yes .But it depends what shape
