Shapes are similar if:

Congruency rule 1: SSS


They are the same shape

Congruency Criteria: All sides are the same. They have the same sized angles
If two shapes are congruent they are Finding a missing side in a similar shape
exactly the same size, they have the The three sides of the Each length is directly proportional to the length of
same sized lengths and angles. triangles are the same, the corresponding shape
therefore they are
congruent
The yellow triangle
Is twice as large as
The green triangle.
The ratios of the lengths

Congruency rule 1: ASA are the same, therefore


the triangles are
Congruency Criteria: 2 sides and one angle are
similar.
the same.

The triangles have 2 sides


the same length and an
angle the same size,
therefore
they are Although similar shapes can have different
congruent. lengths, the angles must stay the same.

Congruency rule 3: ASA Congruency rule 4: RHS Similarity with Area


Similarity with Volume
Congruency Criteria: Two angles the same Congruency Criteria: The two
size and one side the same length. triangles share a right angle, the
same length hypotenuse and one side
the same length.

The triangles have 2 angles that are the same


size and one side that is the same length,
therefore the triangles are congruent. The triangles have a right angle, the same length
Hypotenuse and a side the same length,
Therefore they are congruent.
