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

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.
