Question

A RECTANGLE AND A SQUARE IS SIMILAR FIGURE TRUE OR FLASE

Answer 1

Answer:

False................

Answer 2

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

In geometry, the term similar has a precise technical meaning: two shapes are similar if one is congruent to a uniform scaling of the other. Equivalently, two shapes are similar if one can be obtained from the other by some combination of the following transformations:

uniform scaling;

translation;

rotation; and

reflection.

A consequence of two shapes being similar is that corresponding angles in the two shapes have the same measure and that the lengths of corresponding sides are all in the same ratio.

Note that a square is a special case of a rectangle. (However, use of the term rectangle usually suggests that the special case of a square cannot be assumed and, perhaps, is explicitly excluded.) If one shape is a square and the other is a (non-square) rectangle, then corresponding angles do have the same measure, but there is no way to assign a correspondence such that corresponding sides all have lengths in the same ratio. That is why a square is not similar (in the technical sense) to a rectangle.
