Ch. 7 Similarity & Congruence Review

Similar is a term used to describe figures or other objects that are similar in size and shape but not identical in terms of dimensions.

True or False, Explain your reasoning.

Congruent refers to figures or anything else that has the same size and shape and can be superimposed on top of each other.

• Yes, the drawing is the same color as the actual car.

• No, the drawing is smaller than the actual car.

• Yes, the drawing is the same size as the actual car.
