Question

what distinguishes congruent figures from similar figures?
different orientation
same size
different color
different shape

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

To determine the difference between congruent and similar figures:

  • Congruent figures have the same shape and same size.
  • Similar figures have the same shape but different sizes (they are scaled versions).
  • Orientation, color are not defining characteristics for congruence/similarity (and similar figures can also have different orientations). Different shape would mean they aren't either congruent or similar. So the key distinguishing factor related to size is "same size" for congruent (vs. similar which can differ in size).

Answer:

B. Same size (assuming the option "Same size" is the correct one; based on the visible options, the correct option is the one labeled "Same size")
