Congruent figures are similar - in sides as well as angles.
Corresonding angles of similar figures congruent but their sides are not. The sides are all in some fixed ratio. [If that ratio is 1, the figures are congruent.]

What is different about similar and congruent figures?
Congruent figures are identical in dimensions and angles whereas similar figures have dimensions in proportion to congruent figures but both have exactly the same angles.
How do you compare and contrast congruent and similar?
Similar means they are of the same shape but not necessary the same size. two figure are congruents when they are of the same shape and size. congruent figures can be similar but not similar figures aren't always congruent
What is different about similar figure and congruent figures?
Congruent figures are identical in dimensions and angles whereas similar figures have dimensions in proportion to congruent figures but both have exactly the same angles.
Are all similar figures are congruent?
No because Similar figures are the same shape, angles, and types but not lengths. Congruent means EXACTLY the same in everything.
How do you know if two figures are similar or congruent?
congruent figures are the same shape and the same size while similar figures are the same shape but different sizes and it doesn't matter which way the shape is facing
Can congruent figures be similar and can similar figures be congruent?
Congruent figures are always similar. However, similar figures are only sometimes congruent.

What is the difference between congruent and similar figures?
Congruent figures have exactly the same shape; you could superimpose one on the other and see only one figure. Similar figures have some points of similarity but do not have to be exactly the same.

Explain why similar figures are not always congruent?
similar figures have the same angles but not necessarily the same side lengths
What do congruent and similar figures have in common?
Their angles are the same.
Why similar figures are not always congruent?
because they are not the same
Can congruent figures be similar figures?
All congruent figures are similar figures, and have identical sizes.
