|dw:1397863627970:dw|Let's use a square as an example :)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Which of these options do you KNOW to be true?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B

zepdrix (zepdrix):

They're similar? Mmm ok good. The angles appear to be the same as well, yes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b and D are wrong,

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Hmm b should be true :o they are similar D:

zepdrix (zepdrix):

d is also true i'm afraid :c they have proportional sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know but the question is asking what is not true...

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Oh you mean wrong choices.. ok fine -_- you said that a little weird.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Read A a sec, A. The image and preimage are `congruent`. Is this true? Are both squares congruent (exactly the same) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope! :)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

nope! \c:/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

zepdrix (zepdrix):
