Transcript text: Which pairs of figures are congruent? Which pairs are similar?
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Analyze the first pair of figures
The first pair consists of two rectangles. One is vertical, the other horizontal. They have different dimensions.
Step 2: Analyze the second pair of figures
The second pair consists of two triangles. One is smaller than the other but they have the same angles.
Step 3: Analyze the third pair of figures
The third pair consists of two circles. One is larger than the other.
Step 4: Analyze the fourth pair of figures
The fourth pair consists of two L shapes. They are mirror images of each other and congruent.
Final Answer
Only the fourth pair (the L shapes) are congruent. The second and third pairs are similar (the triangles and the circles). The first pair (rectangles) are neither congruent nor similar.
