similarity mapping

Question

. Addison says that all squares are similar and her partner agrees but says that all rectangles are similar to each other too. Is either students correct? Explain why or why not with examples

Answer 1

Similar figures have the same shape yet not necessarily the same size.

Two squares have the same shape, Two rectangles do not necessarily have the same shape.

Answer 2

Use Google to look up the Merriam Webster definition of "similar". #3 is the one we need:

"3: not differing in shape but only in size or position"
