When two geometrical figures are congruent, it means that they are the same in every respect; all the corresponding line segments have the same lengths, they are put together into the same shape, the corresponding angles are the same, and every measurement (area, circumference, etc.) will be the same. The only difference is that they are not in the same location (if they were in exactly the same location they would be superimposed on each other and they therefore would be just one geometric figure, not two).
The Definition of Congruent Figures (which is a proof) says that if two figures have corresponding sides congruent and corresponding angles congruent, then the figures are to be congruent.
A square has 4 congruent sides and 4 congruent angles
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.
congruent
They have the same properties but are smaller in size.
The Definition of Congruent Figures (which is a proof) says that if two figures have corresponding sides congruent and corresponding angles congruent, then the figures are to be congruent.
Congruent figures are always similar. However, similar figures are only sometimes congruent.
Congruent figures are figures that have the same size and shape.
All congruent figures are similar figures, and have identical sizes.
Congruent figures are identical in dimensions and angles whereas similar figures have dimensions in proportion to congruent figures but both have exactly the same angles.
Congruent Figures has equal sides, angles, shape and size.
Are congruent figures always similar? Yes.
Congruent figures are similar - in sides as well as angles. Corresonding angles of similar figures congruent but their sides are not. The sides are all in some fixed ratio. [If that ratio is 1, the figures are congruent.]
The lengths of the sides need not be congruent. For example, consider a square and a rectangle.
