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 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.
