The definition of "similar" is that they are the same shape, just larger or smaller than each other.
If you consider TRIANGLES here is what you have...
Two triangles are said to be similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides are in proportion . In other words, similar triangles are the same shape, but not necessarily the same size. The triangles are congruent if, in addition to this, their corresponding sides are of equal length.
That is SAME SHAPE, but not necessarily the same size.
