Q: What does IP EMaths Notes (Upper Sec, Year 3-4): 12) Similarity and Congruency cover?
A: Use similarity ratios and congruency criteria to prove geometric relationships and scale figures accurately.
Similarity compares shapes with proportional sides and equal angles, while congruency proves exact matches. Keep diagrams annotated with tick marks, matching angle symbols, and explicit ratio statements so the reader can follow the logic without guessing.
