Difference between congruence and similarity?
Congruence is the two use same size and shape similarity is whe two look the same but not using same size and shape
If two shapes are congruent then are they also similar?
Yes. Congruence implies similarity. Though similarity may not be enough for congruence. Congruence means they are exactly the same size and shape.
Why is AAA not an appropriate conjecture for triangle congruence?
It does not necessarily prove congruence but it does prove similarity. You can have a smaller or bigger triangle that has the same interior angles.
What is the difference between equal and congruent?
A congruence sign is just like an equals sign, but with a ~ on top the =.
Why was this symbol created?
It was created for the use of congruence between segments, angles, and triangles. Also it was created for the transitional property of congruence, symmetry property of congruence, and Reflexive property of congruence.
What is the difference between a congruence sign and a similarity sign?
Actually, I don’t know
Difference between congruence and similarity?
Congruence is the two use same size and shape similarity is whe two look the same but not using same size and shape
Angle-angle-angle guarantees congruence between two triangles?
No it doesn't. It guarantees similarity, but not congruence.
What is value congruence?
The similarity between individual and organizational values
If two figures are congruent then they are similar?
Yes. Congruence implies similarity. Though similarity is not enough for congruence.
Is a ASA triangle similarity postulate?
Since ASA is a congruence postulate and congruence implies similarity, then the answer is : yes.
What are the similarities and differences between faith and belief?
similarity and congruence are both different. Congruence is when two shapes are identical; in size and shape whereas similarity is when two shapes look similar but can vary in size.
What is a similarity transformation different from a congruence transformation?
The size of the shape changes with a similarity transformation (enlargement), whereas it does not with a congruence transformation.
If two shapes are congruent then are they also similar?
Yes. Congruence implies similarity. Though similarity may not be enough for congruence. Congruence means they are exactly the same size and shape.
If you have two boxes 12cmhigh12cmlong 12cmwide are they congruent or not similar?
No. Congruence implies similarity, so they are also similar. Though similarity is not enough for congruence.
How the triangle similarity postulates are alike and how they differ from triangle congruence postulates?
Similarity is where triangles have equal angles at each corner. Congruence is where triangles have sides of equal length.
Why is AAA not an appropriate conjecture for triangle congruence?
It does not necessarily prove congruence but it does prove similarity. You can have a smaller or bigger triangle that has the same interior angles.
