Can two shapes be congruent and not similar?
In short, no. Similar shapes are shapes in which all corresponding angles congruent regardless of the length of the sides. Congruent shapes have congruent corresponding angles and corresponding sides. In effect congruent shapes is a special condition of similar shapes.
What shapes have opposite sides congruent?
A polygon with 2n sides (n>1) can have opposite sides congruent.
What is the ratio between the corresponding sides of two congruent shapes?
Since by definition corresponding sides of congruent shapes have the same length, the answer is 1.
What has 4 right angles and and 2 congruent sides?
There is no shape with exactly 4 right angles and 2 congruent sides.A rectangle has 4 right angles and 2 pairs of congruent sides - 4 sides in all. But if the numbers in the question are not limiting, then there are many more shapes. An irregular hexagon with the following shape, will meet the requirements if its height is the same as its base.___|....\|......\___!_______|There are lots more shapes with more sides.
What are similarities of congruent shapes and similar shapes?
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.
