Two equilateral triangles, but one has sides measuring 3 cm, while the other measures 6 cm. The figures are similar, but not congruent

MiNk2019314 · Answer

Similar figures share the same shape but can differ in size, which means they are not always congruent. An example is two rectangles, one measuring 4 cm by 2 cm and the other 8 cm by 4 cm; they are similar but not congruent. This disproves the conjecture that all similar figures are necessarily congruent.
