Understanding Congruence, Similarity, and Transformations

In geometry, understanding the relationships between shapes is essential. The concepts of congruence, similarity, and transformations help us compare, classify, and manipulate shapes in various ways:

• Congruence: Two shapes are congruent if they have the same size and shape. Congruent shapes can be moved, rotated, or reflected, but their size and shape remain unchanged.
• Similarity: Two shapes are similar if they have the same shape but may have different sizes. Similar shapes have proportional sides and identical angles.
• Transformations: Transformations involve changing a shape's position or size. The common types of transformations are translations (sliding), rotations (turning), reflections (flipping), and dilations (resizing).

In this quiz, we will explore these concepts with different scenarios. Let's test your understanding of how shapes behave in the world of geometry!
