Congruent Shapes easy Math test
What are congruent shapes?
Congruent shapes are shapes that are exactly the same size and shape. This means that if you were to place one shape on top of the other, the two shapes would fit together perfectly with no gaps or overlaps.
There are many ways to show that two shapes are congruent. One way is to use a drawing tool called a “ruler.” A ruler is a flat, straight object that is used to measure distances. If you measure all of the sides of one shape and they are the same length as all of the sides of the other shape, then the two shapes are congruent.
Another way to show that two shapes are congruent is to use a drawing tool called a “compass.” A compass is a drawing tool that is used to draw circles. If you use a compass to draw the same shape twice and the two shapes are exactly the same size and shape, then the two shapes are congruent.
There are also some special words that are used to describe congruent shapes. If two shapes are congruent, we can say that they are “equal” or “identical.”
It’s important to remember that congruent shapes do not have to be the same color or be drawn in the same position. As long as the two shapes are the same size and shape, they are congruent.
Here’s an example:
Imagine you have two triangles that are drawn on a piece of paper. If you measure all of the sides of one triangle and they are the same length as all of the sides of the other triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. This means that if you were to place one triangle on top of the other, the two triangles would fit together perfectly with no gaps or overlaps.
