Similar means that the figure has the same shape, but not neccesarily the same size. It is said, also, that it is incoungruent, so it definetly doesn't have the same size. A transformation that gives you a similar but incongruent figure is a dialation, rotation and/or translation. I'll do a drawing to illustrate:

Notice that I've done the three of them. I have the same figure, smaller, in another position and rotated.
