Question

Two figures having the ............. shape but not necessarily the ............ size are called similar figures.

• A. same, different
• B. different, same
• C. same, same
• D. different, different

Answer 1

The correct option is C same, same

For two figures to be similar, their shape must be same but their sizes may be different.

For example, two circles of different radii, two equilateral triangles each having different lengths, etcetera.

Hence, two figures having the $\underset{–}{same}$ shape but not necessarily the $\underset{–}{same}$ size are called similar figures.
