Study Notes

Similar Figures

Figures with the same shape but different sizes.
Corresponding angles are equal.
Corresponding sides are proportional.
Example: Triangles ABC and XYZ are similar (△ABC ~ △XYZ).

Equivalent Figures

Figures that have the same size or value but different shapes.
Example: Figure A, B, and C (shown with a rectangle and two triangles).

Congruent Figures

Figures with the same shape and size.
Corresponding parts of congruent figures are congruent.
Example: Triangles ABC and EFG are congruent (△ABC ≅ △EFG).

Corresponding Sides and Angles of Congruent Figures

AB = EF
BC = FG
AC = EG
∠A = ∠E
∠B = ∠F
∠C = ∠G
