No, congruent triangles are always similar but similar triangles and not always congruent. Imagine that similar triangles can be created on a copy machine enlarge and shrink the image, turn it, even turn it over, the angles remain the same. A congruent triangle must be exactly the same as the original. Hope this helps!

If the vertex angles of two isosceles triangles are congruent are the triangles always similar?
Yes, they are.
Are the angles of similar triangles always equal?
The relative angles are congruent
You can always two similar trianges so that they become congruent?
If you mean you can "scale" two similar triangles so that they become congruent, then yes.The answer is Dilatedilate
Are congruent triangles similar?
Yes, similar triangles are congruent because in order to be congruent they must first be equal. Which in turn is the definition of a similar triangle. A triangle equal in angle measurements and/or side lengths. So, yes.
Similar triangles can be made into congruent triangles by what?
dialating
Do similar triangles always have congruent angles?
Yes, in similar triangles, the angles are always congruent, and the sides have the same proportions to each other.
Can you always cut a right triangle into two congruent triangles?
Similar, YES. Congruent, NO.

How can similar triangles be made into congruent triangles?
dilating them.

Are congruent triangles similar?
Yes, similar triangles are congruent because in order to be congruent they must first be equal. Which in turn is the definition of a similar triangle. A triangle equal in angle measurements and/or side lengths. So, yes.
Similar triangles can be made into congruent triangles by doing what?
Increasing the dimensions of the smaller of the similar triangles (if they are not already congruent) by a suitably chosen constant factor.
What do you call two triangles with proportional sides?
They are said to be similar but not congruent triangles.
The term for two triangles that are congruent after a dilation is?
The term for two triangles that are congruent after a dilation is similar.
