The same shape and proportions but not necessarily the same size that’s the best way I can explain it

Answer:

When something is similar in geometry, it means the shape of that object is the same, though that doesn't apply to how big it is, the object just looks the same.

Explanation:

An example of this is a circle. A big circle is similar to a small circle, even though the sizes of those two circles are completely different.

Hope this Helps!!
