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.
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 does the scale factor between two similar tell you about the angles?
The two similar shapes will have the same angles
Why is it that if a shape is congruent its similar?
Congruency means that the given 2 figures are exactly same in shape and size. Thus all corresponding angles will also be the same.Similarity of shapes means that the 2 given shapes are same in shape but the measures of corresponding sides may not be the same. Since the shapes are the same, the corresponding angles are also same.If 2 shapes are congruent, they have equal corresponding angles. The equal angles satisfy the condition for the shapes being similar. Hence congruent shapes are similar as well.
How can you tell both shapes are similar?
to prove two triangles are similar, get 2 angles congruent
