Answers
Hello Mate,
The difference between congruent and similarity can be understood through the world of mathematics. Shape, proportion and angles all play their part in defining these two words..
Congruent shapes have identical measurements and coincide with each other when superimposed. Two congruent objects are the same size and shape, but their orientation or placing in a space can be different. This does not change the fact that they are the same because they possess the same physical properties, the same angles as well as the same measurements....
Similarity means closely resembling each other but not quite the same. Mathematically a shape can be similar in its basic shape, a circle for example, but different in size. The difference in size aspect means that a similar shape can never be congruent...
Hope this helps you
