Question

which pairs of figures are congruent? which pairs are similar? congruent? yes no similar? yes no congruent? yes no similar? yes no congruent? yes no similar? yes no congruent? yes no similar? yes no

Explanation:

Step1: Recall congruent and similar definitions

Congruent figures have same shape and size. Similar figures have same shape but not necessarily same size.

Step2: Analyze top - left pair

The two figures have different sizes and shapes. So they are neither congruent nor similar. Answer for congruent is No, for similar is No.

Step3: Analyze top - right pair

The rectangle and the square have different shapes. So they are neither congruent nor similar. Answer for congruent is No, for similar is No.

Step4: Analyze bottom - left pair

The circle and the ellipse have different shapes. So they are neither congruent nor similar. Answer for congruent is No, for similar is No.

Step5: Analyze bottom - right pair

The two triangles have the same shape but different sizes. So they are similar but not congruent. Answer for congruent is No, for similar is Yes.

Answer:

Top - left: Congruent? No, Similar? No
Top - right: Congruent? No, Similar? No
Bottom - left: Congruent? No, Similar? No
Bottom - right: Congruent? No, Similar? Yes
