Question

which pairs of figures below are congruent? images of figure pairs: circles (small and large), trapezoids (same), triangles (small and large), rectangles (different sizes) congruent? yes / no for each pair.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the first pair (circles)

Congruent figures have the same shape and size. The first pair has a small circle and a large circle. Their sizes are different, so they are not congruent.

Step2: Analyze the second pair (trapezoids)

The two trapezoids have the same shape and appear to have the same size (same side lengths, same angles when checked on the grid). So they are congruent.

Step3: Analyze the third pair (triangles)

One triangle is small, the other is large. Their sizes differ, so they are not congruent.

Step4: Analyze the fourth pair (rectangles/squares)

One is a square (or rectangle) of larger size, the other is smaller. Sizes differ, so not congruent.

Answer:

• First pair (circles): No
• Second pair (trapezoids): Yes
• Third pair (triangles): No
• Fourth pair (rectangles): No
