Yes because to be similar the shapes need to have the same ratio of sides and similar angles. To be congruent the shapes have to be the same shape and size, so 2 congruent shapes will always be similar.

Are congruent tiangles similar?
All congruent shapes are similar, but not all similar shapes are congruent.
What are similarities of congruent shapes and similar shapes?
The angles for congruent shapes and the angles in similar shapes are all the same. All the sides are also proportional in both. Basically, all congruent shapes are similar but not all similar shapes are congruent.
Can two shapes be congruent and not similar?
In short, no. Similar shapes are shapes in which all corresponding angles congruent regardless of the length of the sides. Congruent shapes have congruent corresponding angles and corresponding sides. In effect congruent shapes is a special condition of similar shapes.
Are Two congruent shapes are always similar?
yes they are it just has to be same size and shape
What does congruent mean if shapes are not the same size?
You can have two shapes - a small one and a big one - whose angles are congruent but the sides are not. In that case the shapes are not congruent but similar.

Are two similar polygons always congruent?
Yes, because congruent is mainly saying same shapes if they said congruent shapes.

How are congruent and similar shapes different?
Similar shapes are the same shape and not the same size but congruent shapes are exactly alike
Are Two congruent shapes are always similar?
yes they are it just has to be same size and shape
Can two shapes that are similar be congruent?
no
Do similar shapes always have to have corresponding sides that are proportional?
Yes, similar figures always have congruent corresponding angles and proportional corresponding side lengths.
What does congruent mean if shapes are not the same size?
You can have two shapes - a small one and a big one - whose angles are congruent but the sides are not. In that case the shapes are not congruent but similar.
What does it mean when two shapes are similar?
It is congruent
Is congruent figures are always similar?
Are congruent figures always similar? Yes.
Are congruent figures always similar figures?
Yes, congruence is a stronger condition than similarity.
