Having
Hello,
1. Geometric figures having the same shape are called similar figures.
2. An object measuring 10 kg is on the table.
I could not understand the meaning of "having" and "measuring".
Could any one here explain it to me?
Thanks.

"measuring 10 kg" is not right; I'll assume "weighing 10 kg". "having" and "weighing" are participles. "having the same shape" and "weighing 10 kg" are adjectival phrases that describe "geometric figures" and "an object" respectively.
