Let’s explore the fun world of geometry together!
-
Definitions:
- Congruence means that two shapes are exactly the same in both shape and size.
- You can place one on top of the other without any gaps!
- Similarity means that two shapes have the same shape but can be different in size.
- You can make one larger or smaller to match the other!
-
Transformations:
- To make figures congruent, you can use:
- Reflections: This is like flipping the shape over a line!
- Rotations: This means turning the shape around a point!
- Translations: This is when you slide the shape without changing its size or shape!
- Similar shapes are made by scaling.
- This means the angles stay the same, but the side lengths are in a certain ratio!
Geometry is a fun adventure filled with shapes! Keep discovering more!
