Is congruent figures are always similar?
Are congruent figures always similar? Yes.
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
What is different about similar 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.
