Question

Give any two real-life examples of congruent shapes.

Answer 1

Hint: Congruent shape means two figures or two objects have exactly the same shape and size. If one of the objects has the same shape and size as the mirror image of another, then they are said to be congruent.

Complete step-by-step answer:
In the question, we have been asked to give two real-life examples of congruent shapes. The examples are,
1. Pages of the same book are the real-life example of congruent shapes. All the pages of the same book are of the same shape and size.
2. Mobile phones of the same brand and same model are congruent to each other.
The objects which are not exactly the same in shape and size are non-congruent. For example, coins of rupee 1 and rupee 5 are non-congruent. Even notes of rupees 10 and rupees 100 are non-congruent.

Note: There are many more examples of congruent shapes in our surroundings like two cricket balls of the same company of the same manufacturing lot. We have to keep in mind that if any two objects have exactly the same shape and size then they are said to be congruent. We also test congruence by flipping one object over another, if the object flipped covers the other object exactly they are mirror objects of one another and both of them are congruent in shape. So, a pair of shoes will also be congruent.
