Congruence, equivalence and similarity Plane Geometry Congruence, equivalence and similarity

congruence

Congruence Two figures are congruent if they have exactly the same size and shape.

Precisely two plane figures are said congruent, if there is a rigid motion (which does not lead to deformation), which can lead one of the two figures to coincide with another .

Congruence When two figures are congruent, there is a correspondence between their angles and sides such that corresponding angles are congruent and corresponding sides are congruent.

In other words, they have matching angles and matching sides Congruence In other words, they have matching angles and matching sides

equivalence

equivalence In geometry plane, equivalence is the propriety of two or more plane figures which have the same extension.

equivalence The equivalence is a relationship between geometric figures that do not necessarily have the same shape, but have the same area.

equivalence These figures are equivalent because they are equally composed

equivalence The equivalence relation has three properties which are reflexive, symmetric and transitive.

reflexive propriety a figure is always equivalent to itself

symmetric if the figure a is equivalent to b, then b is equivalent to a;

transitive Finally, if a is equivalent to b and b is equivalent to c, then a is equivalent to c A B C

similarity

These two postcards, which are similar, aren`t the same similarity These two postcards, which are similar, aren`t the same This feature of polygons is called similarity

similarity There is similarity between two or more polygons if all corresponding angles are congruent and all corresponding sides are proportional.

similarity Figures that have the same shape, but do not have the same size, have a relationship of similarity A B
