--any shapes with proportionally equal sides are "Similar"

if you had a rectangle with one side hat was 4 and the other 8 and another rectangle with sides 8 and 16, you would have proportionally equal sides because (4/8)=(8/16)

In geometry what does similar mean?

In geometry, similar refers to two figures that have the same shape but may differ in size. Specifically, similar figures have corresponding angles that are equal and corresponding sides that are proportional in length.


Are congruent figures always similar figures?

Yes, congruence is a stronger condition than similarity.

Geometry.


Is it true the corresponding sides of similar figures are always congruent?

no, according to basic geometry(6th grade, even), the sides are NOT always congruent.


Why do corresponding angles of similar figures have to be congruent?

Corresponding angles of similar figures are congruent because similarity in geometry implies that the shapes have the same shape but may differ in size. When two figures are similar, their corresponding sides are in proportion, which leads to their angles being equal. This relationship ensures that the angles maintain their measures regardless of the scale of the figures, thus confirming that corresponding angles must be congruent.


Can congruent figures be similar and can similar figures be congruent?

Congruent figures are always similar. However, similar figures are only sometimes congruent.
