Mathematics 2Ms. Meek Congruent and Similar Figures
Geometric Figures Congruent and similar are terms used to describe characteristics of plane and solid shapes.
Congruent Figures Congruent figures are shapes, plane and solid, that are the same in shape AND size.
Congruent Figures Although congruent figures need to be the same shape and size, but they do not have to be in the same positions.
Similar Figures Similar figures have the same shape, but might be different sizes or might not face the same direction.
Similar or Congruent? Similar! These figures have the same shape, but not the same size.
Similar or Congruent? Congruent! These two figures are the same size and the same shape.
Similar or Congruent? These figures are not similar or congruent. They are not the same size or the same shape.
Conclusion • Congruent and similar are terms used to describe characteristics of plane and solid shapes. • Congruent figures are shapes, plane and solid, that are the same in shape AND size. • Similar figures have the same shape, but might be different sizes or might not face the same direction.
