Answer by bucky(2189)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If two triangles are congruent they will both contain the same angles, and the corresponding
sides will be equal in length.
.
All you need to do to answer this question is to use the same angles in both triangles
but make one of the triangles have longer sides. The triangles will be the same shape but
one will be an enlargement of the other.
.
The way to do this is to draw two horizontal lines on a piece of paper, but make one of the
lines obviously longer than the other. Put angles of 50 degrees at the left end of each of
the two lines you drew. Make the line forming the angle slant up and to the right.
.
Next go to the other ends of the two lines and make 70 degree angles of so the lines
forming the angle slope up and to the left. You should now have triangles that both contain
the same angles, but the corresponding sides of the two triangles are different in length.
.
Hope this helps you understand the problem.
