TRANSCRIPT
When two objects are congruent, they have the same shape and size.
Two objects are similar if they have the same shape, but different sizes.
Their corresponding parts are all proportional.
Any kind of polygon can have two that are similar to each other.
When two objects are congruent, they have the same shape and size.
