How are corresponding side lengths two similar figures related?
Corresponding sides of similar figures are proportional.
How can you tell if two figures are similar?
Two figures are similar if: - The measures of their corresponding angles are equal. - The ratios of the lengths of the corresponding sides are proportional.
If two figures are similar then are they also congruent?
No. Two figures are similar if they have same shape, and all the angles are equal; but they can have the sides of different sizes. I mean, similar figures may have different sizes, but must have the same shape.
Can congruent figures be similar and can similar figures be congruent?
Congruent figures are always similar. However, similar figures are only sometimes 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.

What does it mean for two figures to be congruent?
Similar
Do two similar figures have to have the same size?
No.
What are two figures who have the same shape but different sizes called?
Similar figures.
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.
What makes 2 figures similar?
When the shape is the same but the form is bigger or smaller
Can congruent figures be similar and can similar figures be congruent?
Congruent figures are always similar. However, similar figures are only sometimes congruent.
How can you determine mathematically if two figures are similar?
If the two figures are the same shape. Also if the ratios of the lengths of the corresponding sides are equal.
