2. Similarity (geometry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Similarity_(geometry)

   A similarity (also called a similarity transformation or similitude) of a Euclidean space is a bijection f from the space onto itself that multiplies all distances by the same positive real number r, so that for any two points x and y we have. where d(x,y) is the Euclidean distance from x to y. [16]

3. Missing square puzzle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_square_puzzle

   The missing square puzzle is an optical illusion used in mathematics classes to help students reason about geometrical figures; or rather to teach them not to reason using figures, but to use only textual descriptions and the axioms of geometry. It depicts two arrangements made of similar shapes in slightly different configurations.

4. Congruence (geometry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congruence_(geometry)

   Congruence (geometry) Relationship between two figures of the same shape and size, or mirroring each other. The two triangles on the left are congruent. The third is similar to them. The last triangle is neither congruent nor similar to any of the others. Congruence permits alteration of some properties, such as location and orientation, but ...

5. Triangle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle

   A triangle is a polygon with three corners and three sides, one of the basic shapes in geometry. The corners, also called vertices, are zero- dimensional points while the sides connecting them, also called edges, are one-dimensional line segments. A triangle has three internal angles, each one bounded by a pair of adjacent edges; the sum of ...

6. Shape and form (visual arts) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_and_form_(visual_arts)

   Shape and form (visual arts) In the visual arts, shape is a flat, enclosed area of an artwork created through lines, textures, or colours, or an area enclosed by other shapes, such as triangles, circles, and squares. [1] Likewise, a form can refer to a three-dimensional composition or object within a three-dimensional composition.

7. Tangram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangram

   Like most modern sets, this wooden tangram is stored in the square configuration. The tangram (Chinese: 七巧板; pinyin: qīqiǎobǎn; lit. 'seven boards of skill') is a dissection puzzle consisting of seven flat polygons, called tans, which are put together to form shapes. The objective is to replicate a pattern (given only an outline ...
