Shapes that are similar to a triangle include other triangles that have the same angles but may differ in size, known as similar triangles. Additionally, certain polygons, such as quadrilaterals or pentagons, can have triangular properties if they contain triangular sections or can be subdivided into triangles. However, true similarity in geometric terms primarily applies to triangles.
They are both shapes and an octagon can be made up of six or more triangles. Other than that they are not similar. A triangle must have three sides. An octagon must have eight sides.
The ratio of corresponding side lengths in similar figures is proportional, meaning that if two shapes are similar, the lengths of their corresponding sides will maintain a constant ratio. This ratio is consistent regardless of the size of the shapes, allowing for the comparison of their dimensions. For example, if one triangle has side lengths of 3, 4, and 5, and another similar triangle has side lengths of 6, 8, and 10, the ratio of corresponding sides is 1:2. This proportionality is fundamental in geometry for solving problems involving similar shapes.
anything smaller than the triangle
The angles for congruent shapes and the angles in similar shapes are all the same. All the sides are also proportional in both. Basically, all congruent shapes are similar but not all similar shapes are congruent.

An equilateral triangle can not have "other" shapes.

Non-examples of similar shapes include a rectangle and a triangle, as they have different numbers of sides and angles. Another example is a circle and an oval; while both are curved shapes, their proportions and dimensions differ significantly. Additionally, a square and a rhombus, although both have four sides, do not have the same angle measures, making them not similar.
