1)We all know that congurent triangles are identical in size and shape. I wonder if we use the world" equal' here

2) I'm looking for a word that describe this relation: Assuming we have to triangle: ABC and DEF and AB/ AC = DE / EF and so are the rest of the sides. What is the word for that relation? __ triangles?

3) What is the phrase for the result of (etc.) : AB / AC= 1/3 . I'm not talking about rational number, but the phrase that describe the relation of the two sides when you divide one from another

4)Does "personal life" mean the same as" private life"?

Ex: I'm tired of you prying into my personal life.

Can we replace the phrase by "private life"?

Thanks in advance

1) equal in size and shape seems OK to me.

2) similar triangles 

3) I think you're referring to the ratio of the sides. 

4)  "private life" would be a good substitute.  Yes.
