What is the difference between congruence and similarity? Compare these two examples as part of your answer. (Use the measurements shown in the diagrams to write a well-developed answer; I'm looking for a paragraph of 3-5 sentences.)

What is the difference between congruent and similarities

Congruent shapes have identical measurements and coincide with each other when superimposed. Two congruent objects are the same size and shape, but their orientation or placing in a space can be different.  This does not change the fact that they are the same because they possess the same physical properties, the same angles as well as the same measurements.

Similarity means closely resembling each other but not quite the same.  Mathematically a shape can be similar in its basic shape, a circle for example, but different in size.  The difference in size aspect means that a similar shape can never be congruent.

What is Congruent?

The word congruent comes from the Latin word ‘congruo’ which means ‘I agree’.  When two objects are congruent they can be matched or mapped exactly to each other.  They are the same size and have the same shape.  They fit into the ‘s.s.s theorem’ of side/side/side/ all three sides are the same and all three of the angles are the same. They can be superimposed on one another but can be set differently in terms of their orientation on a plane or in a 3D space.

In a 3D space they may have different special co-ordinates and be orientated differently round their XYZ axes.  However, they are still congruent because all their sides are equal.  All their angles are equal, and their shape is the same.   The art of mapping two congruent shapes is based on the translation, rotation and reflection of the shape and the shape should be able to move through different angles or turn over to be mapped exactly.

Congruent objects are exact in measurement and shape and size.  At first glance to the uninformed the two compared shapes may appear to be different because of the way they have been placed.  However, when they are mapped or rotated they are exact replicas of each other and therefore will be congruent.

What is Similarity?

The word similarity comes from the Latin ‘similis’ which means like, resembling or similar.  Similarity in the mathematical world requires two objects to have the same shape but not necessarily the same size.

Two different circles for instance are both circles and therefore similar but their size makes them different.  They can be compared as similar shapes, but not mapped to one another. Two objects that are similar will have the same shape but the one could be a scaled up or a scaled down version of the other.  The orientation of the shape could be different, but they will remain similar.  Mathematically objects are similar if they have the same shape but not necessarily the same size.

Similarities are found in instances where comparing two objects could be very closely compared, for instance Siamese twins would be very similar and definitely appear to be identical.  Similarities will be corresponding in their meaning like synonyms as they have a similar aspects and purpose. Synonyms are useful words that contribute to the diversity of our language and descriptions of people places and things.  Similarities can relate to nature and have a natural connection in their surroundings. Leaves on the same tree for example would be similar but could be different colors in autumn.  Objects that are akin to one another are similar in quantity and character. Groups of objects or classes of animals can be similar.  Cats for example are all cats, but their breed and color and habitat would make them similar in different ways, but not the same and never congruent.

Although there was always tension between the zoot-suiters and the sailors, the real trouble started the night of May 30, when a group of military men walked past a group of zoot-suiters in downtown Los Angeles. One sailor, Joe Dacy Coleman, decided to grab the arm of one of the zoot-suiters. This decision proved to be seriously flawed. The zoot-suiters knocked Coleman unconscious and attacked the other sailors with rocks, bottles and fists.

Read the following excerpt from Mark Twain's short story "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calavares County," and answer the question that follows.

Smiley ketched a frog one day, and took him home, and said he cal'klated to edercate him; and so he never done nothing for three months but set in his back yard and learn that frog to jump. And you bet you he did learn him too. He'd give him a little punch behind, and the next minute you'd see that frog whirling in the air like a doughnut--see him turn one summerset, or maybe a couple, if he got a good start, and come down flat-footed and all right, like a cat.

What tone is created by Twain's use of dialect?

suspense

humor

Hi. Ok, so I'm applying to be a Belle (It's a community thing) and I have to write a paragraph about why I'm applying and why I'd like to be selected. For some context, the Belles are an organization that does charity work and like town functions and stuff like that. Anyway, I'm bad at giving reasons why I want to do something, so I'm kinda stuck. How do I appeal to the people reading it and how do I word it without making it sound like I'm listing why I should be accepted? Because that's not technically what they were asking.

Fellow members of the community, I am here today requesting your support for the construction of a senior citizens center. This presentation will demonstrate all the ways that the senior center will benefit the entire community. Although many residents might worry that such a project would inevitably increase property taxes, I’m here to assure you that we can acquire the necessary funding without resorting to a drastic tax hike.
Our community has a large population of citizens over the age of sixty-five. As citizens grow older, they have fewer opportunities to socialize. While many senior citizens are involved in activities such as church groups and volunteer organizations, others remain isolated from the community. Furthermore, those who do participate in these groups still lack the daily socialization they once enjoyed during their school and work years—many still yearn for the chance to interact with their peers every day. A senior citizens center affords older community member the opportunity for daily social interaction, allowing them to maintain healthy and vibrant relationships outside the home.
As most of you already know, our town’s senior citizens make up the majority of our volunteer work force. Senior citizens are the people we see at bake sales, blood drives, and food drives, doing all they can to help our community. They are the people you see operating the bingo stands at the annual firefighter’s carnival, and raking the leaves and mowing the grass at the little league fields. Giving our seniors a place to gather and socialize will honor their lifelong commitment to this community, and it’s the least we can do to thank them for their years of service.
Thankfully, we can complete this project with minimal investment and without raising property taxes. Several state and federal grants are available for this type of project. Additionally, our town has about $50,000 left over in the annual recreation budget. By using this surplus and applying for grants, we can complete this project without raising taxes. With a little work, we can easily make this dream into a reality.
The senior citizens center will give our parents and grandparents a home away from home. It will also bring new jobs to our community. The senior center will need registered nurses, program coordinators, and janitorial workers. This could provide unemployed citizens with new opportunities for work. So, in conclusion, I’m asking all of you to think about the positive ways that this project will benefit our community and show your support for this initiative in November.

Read the following excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglass, by Fredrick Douglass and answer the question that follows.

The plan which I adopted, and the one by which I was most successful, was that of making friends of all the little white boys whom I met in the street. As many of these as I could, I converted into teachers. With their kindly aid, obtained at different times and in different places, I finally succeeded in learning to read. When I was sent of errands, I always took my book with me, and by doing one part of my errand quickly, I found time to get a lesson before my return. I used also to carry bread with me, enough of which was always in the house, and to which I was always welcome; for I was much better off in this regard than many of the poor white children in our neighborhood. This bread I used to bestow upon the hungry little urchins, who, in return, would give me that more valuable bread of knowledge. I am strongly tempted to give the names of two or three of those little boys, as a testimonial of the gratitude and affection I bear them; but prudence forbids;—not that it would injure me, but it might embarrass them; for it is almost an unpardonable offence to teach slaves to read in this Christian country.

Which of the following best summarizes the passages?

It was against the rules to teach slaves to read in white Christian country.

Frederick Douglass was wealthy while the white boys were poor.

Frederick Douglass couldn’t go to school because he had too many errands to do.

The white boys in his neighborhood taught him to read in exchange for pieces of bread.
