Question

are figures a and b congruent? are they similar? complete each statement. the figures are congruent. the figures are not similar.

Explanation:

Step1: Check congruence

Congruent figures have same shape and size. By observing the grid - based figures A and B, we can see that the side - lengths and angles match exactly. So they are congruent.

Step2: Check similarity

Similar figures have the same shape but not necessarily the same size. Since congruent figures are a special case of similar figures with a scale - factor of 1, if two figures are congruent, they are also similar. So the statement "The figures are not similar" is incorrect.

Answer:

The figures are congruent.
The figures are similar.
