Understanding Congruent Shapes

The video tutorial explains the concept of congruent shapes, which are figures that have the same shape and size. It highlights that congruent shapes can appear different in orientation but will fit together perfectly if rotated or flipped. The tutorial emphasizes that shapes of different sizes are not congruent, even if they look similar. It also provides real-life examples, such as muffin tins and car tires, to illustrate congruence.

What does it mean for two shapes to be congruent?

• They have the same shape and size.

• They have the same color.

• They are both polygons.

• They are made of the same material.

What is a key characteristic of congruent shapes?

• They must be the same color.

• They must be the same weight.

• They must be the same size and shape.

• They must be made of the same material.

What is necessary for two shapes to be congruent?

• They must be made of the same material.

• They must be the same size and shape.

• They must be the same weight.

• They must be the same color.

How can two congruent shapes appear different?

• They can be different colors.

• They can be laid out differently.

• They can be made of different materials.

• They can have different textures.

How can congruent shapes fit together?

• They can be placed side by side.

• They can fit together perfectly when turned or flipped.

• They can be stacked on top of each other.

• They can be glued together.

How can congruent shapes be identified?

• By their ability to be turned or flipped to match.

• By their material.

• By their color.

• By their weight.

What must be true for two shapes to be considered congruent?

• They must be able to be turned or flipped to look identical.

• They must be made of the same material.

• They must be the same color.

• They must be the same size but different shapes.

What is not a requirement for congruence?

• Same shape and size.

• Same color.

• Ability to be turned or flipped to match.

• Identical angles.

What does it mean if two shapes are identical when flipped?

• They are parallel.

• They are congruent.

• They are symmetrical.

• They are similar.

Why are shapes of different sizes not considered congruent?

• Because they cannot be turned or flipped to look the same.

• Because they are not the same color.

• Because they are not made of the same material.

• Because they are not both polygons.
