Question

the principle that figures with the same shape but different sizes are called:
a. parallel
b. similar
c. equivalent
d. congruent

Explanation:

• Parallel: Refers to lines that never meet, not about shape - size relationship.
• Similar: Figures with same shape (corresponding angles equal) but different sizes (corresponding sides in proportion).
• Equivalent: Usually not used in this geometric context for shape - size.
• Congruent: Figures with same shape and same size.

Answer:

B. Similar
