Similar Figures and Congruent Triangles

As it relates to geometry, what does it mean for figures to be similar?

• corresponding sides are proportional and corresponding angles are congruent

• corresponding sides and angles are congruent

• angles are similar, and side lengths are the same, producing a figure that looks very close to another one.

• neither sides or angles are congruent
