The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "All circles are ……………….. . (congruent, similar)", we need to analyze the properties of circles. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Congruence and Similarity**: - Congruent shapes are identical in shape and size. This means that if you were to superimpose one shape over another, they would match perfectly. - Similar shapes have the same shape but can differ in size. This means that one shape can be a scaled version of the other. 2. **Analyzing Circles**: - All circles have the same shape, which is round. - However, circles can have different sizes (radii). For example, a circle with a radius of 2 cm is not the same size as a circle with a radius of 5 cm. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since all circles share the same shape but can have different sizes, they are not congruent (because they are not the same size). - Therefore, all circles are similar because they maintain the same shape regardless of their size. ### Final Answer: All circles are **similar**. ---
