Identifying Triangles as Similar, Congruent, or Neither
Identifying Triangles as Similar, Congruent, or NeitherWhen two line segments have the same length, they are congruent. When two figures have the same shape and size, they are congruent. ... Similar means that the figures have the same shape, but not the same size. Similar figures are not congruent.
Similar triangles
Similar triangles are the triangles which have the same shape, but their sizes may vary.
.Both have the same shape but sizes are different
.Each pair of corresponding angles are equal
The ratio of corresponding sides is the same
Congrunt triangles
Two triangles are said to be congruent if the three sides and the three angles of both the angles are equal in any orientation. Two triangles are said to be congruent if their sides have the same length and angles have the same measure. Thus, two triangles can be superimposed side to side and angle to angle.
