Question

9 if two polygons are similar, must they also be congruent? explain your answer. if two polygons are similar they

Explanation:

Similar polygons have the same shape (corresponding angles are equal and corresponding sides are in proportion), but congruent polygons have the same shape and size (corresponding angles are equal and corresponding sides are equal). Similar polygons may have different side - lengths (a non - 1 scale factor), so they are not necessarily congruent.

Answer:

No, they are not necessarily congruent. Similar polygons have proportional side - lengths and equal corresponding angles, but congruent polygons require equal side - lengths in addition to equal angles.
