    The document discusses using tracing paper to determine if two shapes are congruent or similar. It provides examples of congruent triangles by showing corresponding sides that are equal in length. For similar triangles, it instructs to find the multiplier for one side and check if it is the same for the other sides. This determines if the triangles have the same proportions and are similar despite differing sizes.

    a good idea — then you can put one on top of the other and it’ll be easier to see.

    Q1 Find the pairs of congruent shapes.

    B
    A D F

    E C

    Q2 Look at each of these pairs of triangles. Are they congruent? Write down how you know.

    PAIR A PAIR B
    5 5 6.2
    40°
    60°
    4 4
    7 7 60°
    40°
    6.2

    Q3 Which two of these three triangles are similar?

    a) b) c)
    14cm
    cm

    5cm 7cm
    9cm
    3cm

    4.5

    7cm 16cm 8cm


    Remember — similar means it has the same proportions... same shape, different size.
    Find the multiplier for one side and see if it’s the same for the others. Easy peasy.

    Q4 Which of the following rectangles are similar to this one?
    2cm
