D.Figures that are congruent cannot also be similar.
Yall killi'n me with this ****. 😡
B. All congruent figures are also similar figures.
answer for this question.
The answer was B. Oh and Writeacher was does "Vin Mwale" have to do with this I'm confused. @Writeacher
so what is the answer
hey Writeacher, what does a person (or method thing) have to do with this problem?
To determine which statement is true, we need to understand the definitions of similar figures and congruent figures.
Similar figures are figures that have the same shape, but not necessarily the same size. They can be scaled-up or scaled-down versions of each other. This means that the corresponding angles of similar figures are equal, but the corresponding sides are proportional.
Congruent figures, on the other hand, are figures that have the same shape and the same size. This means that all corresponding angles and sides of congruent figures are equal.
Now let's evaluate the given statements:
A. All similar figures are also congruent figures.
This statement is false. Similar figures can be different in size, so they are not necessarily congruent.
B. All congruent figures are also similar figures.
This statement is true. Congruent figures have the same shape and size, so they are also similar. In other words, if two figures are congruent, they will automatically be similar.
C. It is not possible for figures to be both similar and congruent.
This statement is false. Figures can be both similar and congruent. For example, an equilateral triangle can be proved to be both similar and congruent to each other.
D. Figures that are congruent cannot also be similar.
This statement is false. As explained earlier, congruent figures are automatically similar as well. Therefore, they can be both congruent and similar.
So, the correct answer is option C, as it incorrectly states that it is not possible for figures to be both similar and congruent.
is c right swimmer
Is Swimmer going to believe "Vin Mwale" who gives no explanation and cannot post a math question that makes sense? Hmmmmm
