4. Congruent or Similar? Vocabulary Review:
The two shapes need to be the same size to be ____________________ .
Shapes do not change in size when the following rigid transformations happen:
1. _________________________
2. _________________________
3. _________________________
When we need to resize one shape to make a scaled copy, the shapes are not __________________ but are considered _________________ . A shape doesn’t have to change size to be similar. By definition, all shapes that are copies are similar.
Shapes do not change in size in dilations if the scale factor used is _____ .
