Do two similar polygons have to be congruent?
no, they could be different size but same shape and be similar but not congruent.
How do you compare and contrast congruent and similar?
Similar means they are of the same shape but not necessary the same size. two figure are congruents when they are of the same shape and size. congruent figures can be similar but not similar figures aren't always congruent
How do you know if two figures are similar or congruent?
congruent figures are the same shape and the same size while similar figures are the same shape but different sizes and it doesn't matter which way the shape is facing
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.
Are all similar figures are congruent?
No because Similar figures are the same shape, angles, and types but not lengths. Congruent means EXACTLY the same in everything.
What transformation will result in a similar figure?
An enlargement transformation will give the result of a similar shape.
Do two similar polygons have to be congruent?
no, they could be different size but same shape and be similar but not congruent.
How do you compare and contrast congruent and similar?
Similar means they are of the same shape but not necessary the same size. two figure are congruents when they are of the same shape and size. congruent figures can be similar but not similar figures aren't always congruent
A triangle that is translated reflected or rotated and preserves its shape is said to be?
A Congruent Transformation.
Are all cricles congruent?
No but they are similar in shape.
What is the difference between similar and congruent?
Congruent means two figures have exactly the same shape and size. If the shape is identical, but not the size , two figures are similar.
Are two congruent figures similar?
Yes, congruent means same size and shape.
Why do dilations produce similar figures but not congruent figures?
Because congruent figures just rotate or reflect making the shape the same size same everything, but when you dilate you shrink it or enlrge it making a similar figure but not a congruent figure. but translations, reflections, rotations, and dilations common thing is that when you move it or shrink it your shape still has the same angles.
How are congruent and similar shapes different?
Similar shapes are the same shape and not the same size but congruent shapes are exactly alike
Why are circles always congruent?
No. They can me different sizes. For a shape to be congruent, they need to me same size and same shape.
How do you know if two figures are similar or congruent?
congruent figures are the same shape and the same size while similar figures are the same shape but different sizes and it doesn't matter which way the shape is facing
What transformations produce a congruent shape?
Translation, rotation, reflection.
