What do you call two similar polygons?

Can two similar polygons be congruent polygons?

Do two similar polygons have to be congruent?
no, they could be different size but same shape and be similar but not congruent.
How can you tell if two polygons are the same?
Two polygons are similar if and only if the corresponding angles are congruent
If corresponding angles are congruent and corresponding sides are proportional two polygons are?
similar polygons
Two polygons are similar then the corresponding angles must be?
congruent
Are all congruent polygons similar?
No. You can have two triangles that are congruent to one another, and two quadrilaterals that are congruent to one another. But the triangle cannot be similar to the quadrilateral!
Two polygons are similar if the corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides are?
Proportional.
Are two rhombuses always-sometimes or never similar?
Sometimes. Remember, in order for two polygons to be similar, their angles must be congruent, and their corresponding sides must be proportional. In a rhombus, it is always possible for the angles to differ.
Do two polygons which are similar have the same shape?
Similar polygons are polygons for which all corresponding angles are congruent and all corresponding sides are proportional. From this definition we can say they have the same shape.
Are two regular polygons always similar?
no.
