what do you think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B?

OpenStudy (adamk):

Good. Because similar and congruent figures have the same shape. But, congruent figures also have the same size.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be B right

Mehek (mehek14):

you are correct because congruent figures mean they are the same size and shape

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you both.

Mehek (mehek14):

Note that if two figures are congruent, then they are also similar.
