Question

2. Explain in about six (6) lines the relationship between congruence and similarity with respect to geometrical shapes.

Answer 1

• Congruence means the geometrical shapes have same shapes and same sizes.

• Similarity means the geometrical shapes have same shapes but do not have same sizes

• It can be better understood by examples:•Congruent shapes have equal length and parameters but Similar shapes do not have equal parameters.

• Congruent triangles and quadrilateral have equal length and equal angles but similar triangles and quadrilateral have equal angles and different size of length.

• Let us take examples:
