Question

15 true or false 1 point
congruent and similar figures both describe the same concept.
true
false

Explanation:

Define congruence and similarity

Congruent figures have the exact same shape and size (corresponding sides and angles are equal). Similar figures have the same shape but can differ in size (corresponding angles are equal, and corresponding sides are proportional).

Compare the concepts

Because congruence requires equal size while similarity allows for different sizes, they describe distinct geometric concepts.

Answer:

  • True
  • False (Correct answer)
