Question

help me! >>>>>>>
explain the statement "Congruent triangles are similar, but similar triangles need not to be congruent."

Answer 1

Look at the symbol for 'congruent.' It is an "is equivalent to" sign with an "is similar to" sign on top. Congruent means both same size *and* same shape.
Similar means same shape only.

Answer 2

ohhh i see i see. thanks, again! @CliffSedge

Answer 3

@nikato proceed.

Answer 4

Congruent triangles means that they are exactly the same. Same angles and same lengths for the sides.

For similar triangles, the only thing they share in common is that all 3 angles are congruent. Their sides do not have to be the same, which means makes them not congruent

Answer 5

It's similar logic to "All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares."
