Similar polygons have the same size angles, but the side lengths are proportionally different, thereby the area is different.
Congruent polygons have the same size angles, the side lengths, thereby the area is the same.
What else can I help you with?
Polygons that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size?
They are similar
How do you know if polygons are similar?
If they are the same shape and size
Are congruent polygons similar?
By the fact that they are congruent means that they are exactly the angle size, the same length of sides and the same area. Similarity means that only the ANGLES are the SAME.
To be considered similar two polygons must have corresponding sides that are equal?
To be considered similar, two polygons must have corresponding angles that are equal, and their corresponding sides must be in proportion, rather than equal. This means that while the shapes of the polygons are the same, their sizes may differ. Thus, similar polygons maintain the same shape but can vary in scale.
Are polygons congruent if they have the same surface area?
No, not necessarily.
Are similar polygons always the same shape?
Yes
Two polygons with same shape not size?
The polygons are said to be similar.
Do two polygons which are similar have the same shape?
Similar polygons are polygons for which all corresponding angles are congruent and all corresponding sides are proportional. From this definition we can say they have the same shape.
Polygons that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size?
They are similar
Do similar polygons have the same shape?
Yes and the same angles
Are any two regular polygons with the same number of sides similar?
Yes, regular polygons will have all sides equal length, and all angles the same. If two polygons of the same number of sides are 'regular' then those two polygons will be similar (they may be scaled, for example).
Are congruent polygons similar?
By the fact that they are congruent means that they are exactly the angle size, the same length of sides and the same area. Similarity means that only the ANGLES are the SAME.
How do you know if polygons are similar?
If they are the same shape and size
How can you tell if two polygons are the same?
Two polygons are similar if and only if the corresponding angles are congruent
What are polygons that have the same shape but not the same size?
They are said to be similar by proportion
What do you call polygons with the same shape but not exactly the same size?
The are similar
Why are congruent polygons similar?
Because congruent technicly means the same so that means those polygons are the same. They are different in size but have the same shape.
