Congruent figures are always similar. However, similar figures are only sometimes congruent.
Yes, congruent means same size and shape.
Two congruent geometric figures have the same shape and the same size, whereas two similar geometric figures have the same shape but they differ in size.
If two figures are similar or congruent, each angle of the first figure is the same as the corresponding angle of the second figure.In similar figures, the ratio of each side in the first figure to the corresponding side in the second figure is a constant. If the figures are congruent, that ratio is 1: that is, the corresponding sides are of the same measure.
because if you shrink or grow a similar figure, it would be congruent.
