What is the difference between similarity and congruence of triangle

Open in App

Solution

Purchase two maps of India, one printed on a chart paper and other on a A4 sheet.
Both the figures are same in SHAPE but not in SIZE, so they are similar figures. But if you will take two maps of India printed on A4 sheets itself, both will be exactly similar in SHAPE and SIZE both.So, they will be called congruent figures.
Same rule goes for the triangles also.
