@braindead my wait what was in response to the different size of the two triangles

otherworldly · Answer

sometimes congruent shapes mean they are similar that means the angles are the same but the size can be different

braindead · Answer

Congruent does not necessarily mean same size. Just means that two shapes are proportionate to each other.

dehydrated · Answer

OHH WOW  how did i miss that in our lesson, Thank you! So the answer is C?

braindead · Answer

For example, |dw:1475464265719:dw|These shapes are congruent because the second one is twice as large as the first one.

dehydrated · Answer

That makes so much sense I'm glad I was made aware of this before it gets harder

braindead · Answer

No, because then you are saying that two different lines are congruent. Look at it again more closely.
