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
