Question What measurements would you take to create a figure congruent to a given:
(a) Circle
(b) Rectangle
Using this, state how you would check if two
(a) Are circles congruent?
(b) Rectangles are congruent?
(a) I will measure the radius or diameter of the given circle. (b) I will measure the length and breadth of the given rectangle. (a) I will place one circle over another circle. If they exactly superimpose, they are congruent. In this case, both will have the same radius. (b) I will place one rectangle over another rectangle. If they exactly superimpose, they are congruent. In such a case, both will have the same length and breadth.
