Question

What is the difference between a similar shape and a congruent shape?

Answer 1

A similar shape is a shape that looks the same but can have a variation of size, a congruent shape is a shape that is exactly the same as the other shape

Answer 2

Congruent figures are the same shape and size. Similar figures are the same shape, but not necessarily the same size. Note that if two figures are congruent, then they are also similar, but not vice-versa.

Hope this helps :)
