What must be true of the corresponding angles in two similar figures?
koe
What must be true for two dimensional polygonal figures to be similar?
both must be proptional
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
Are congruent figures always similar figures?
Yes, congruence is a stronger condition than similarity.
Can a reflection be used to determine if figures are similar?
yes. if the two figures are the same size and shape, then they are similar

Is that true that if two congruents triangles are always similar?
Yes.
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
Is it true that the greater the perimeter the greater the area?
No, in general that is not true. For two similar figures it is true. But you can easily design two different figures that have the same perimeters and different areas, or the same area and different perimeters. For example, two rectangles with a different length-to-width ratio.
The statement two parallelograms are similar is always never or sometimes true?
It is sometimes true that two parallelograms are similar. The could be congruent, or dissimilar in that one is not an enlargement of the other.
What are features that make two planar figures similar?
If all angles of two polygons are the same the figures are similar (irrespective of rotation).
Are congruent figures always similar figures?
Yes, congruence is a stronger condition than similarity.
How are corresponding side lengths two similar figures related?
Corresponding sides of similar figures are proportional.
Can a reflection be used to determine if figures are similar?
yes. if the two figures are the same size and shape, then they are similar
Can two figures be congruent but not similar?
no because if they are conmgruent then they are similar
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.
