What does it mean when two shapes are similar?
It is congruent
Are congruent tiangles similar?
All congruent shapes are similar, but not all similar shapes are congruent.
What are similarities of congruent shapes and similar shapes?
The angles for congruent shapes and the angles in similar shapes are all the same. All the sides are also proportional in both. Basically, all congruent shapes are similar but not all similar shapes are congruent.
What does congruent mean if shapes are not the same size?
You can have two shapes - a small one and a big one - whose angles are congruent but the sides are not. In that case the shapes are not congruent but similar.
How can you tell both shapes are similar?
to prove two triangles are similar, get 2 angles congruent

What is does congruent means?
Congruent means that two shapes are the same size and shape. When two shapes are congruent, all corresponding sides and angles are equal.
What does congruent mean if shapes are not the same size?

Are two similar polygons always congruent?
Yes, because congruent is mainly saying same shapes if they said congruent shapes.
How are congruent and similar shapes different?
Similar shapes are the same shape and not the same size but congruent shapes are exactly alike
How can you tell both shapes are similar?
to prove two triangles are similar, get 2 angles congruent
Are similar shapes always congruent?
Yes because to be similar the shapes need to have the same ratio of sides and similar angles. To be congruent the shapes have to be the same shape and size, so 2 congruent shapes will always be similar.
What do you call two figures the have identical sides and shapes?
You would call them congruent or similar.
Are Two congruent shapes are always similar?
yes they are it just has to be same size and shape
