Similar vs Congruent Figures

Are the following similar? Why or why not?

• Yes

• No, the corresponding angles are not equal.

• No, the ratios of the corresponding sides are not equal.

Tell whether the two figures are similar. Explain your reasoning.

• Yes, similar because they are the same shape and side lengths are proportional.

• No, not similar because they are the same shape, but side lengths are not proportional.

• Yes, same shape

• No, different sizes

Determine the relationship of the figures.

• Congruent

• Not Congruent

• Similar

Determine the relationship of the figures.

• Congruent

• Not Congruent

• Similar

This two figures are...

• congruent and similar

• similar, but not congruent

• congruent, but not similar

• Neither congruent nor similar

• 4m
• 5m
• 3m
• 4.5m

This symbol stands for ...

• is corresponding to

• is proportional to

• is congruent to

• is similar to

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

4m 5m 3m 4.5m

• 4m

• 5m

• 3m

• 4.5m

Tell whether the two figures are congruent.

• Yes, same size and same shape

• No, same shape but different sizes

• No, different size and different shapes
