Answers Questions
1. How can you tell if two polygons are similar?
- Two polygons is similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides have a constant ratio.
2. How can you tell if two polygons are congruent?
- For two polygons to be congruent, they must have an equal number of sides and hence an equal number the same number of vertices.
3. Can you say that congruent polygons are similar too? Explain.
- As you may recall, congruent polygons have the exact same size and are a perfect match because all corresponding parts are congruent (equal). Whereas, similar polygons have the same shape, but not the same size
4. Are all similar polygons also congruent? Why or why not?
- Similar figures have the same angles which means that they have the same shapes, but they differ in size. However, the sides are still in the the same ratio. Congruent shapes are always similar , but similar shapes are usually not congruent - one is bigger and one is smaller.
