Are similar triangles always congruent?
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!
Can congruent figures be similar and can similar figures be congruent?
Congruent figures are always similar. However, similar figures are only sometimes congruent.
Is a trapziod congruent similar or neither?
A trapezoid can be congruent or similar to another trapezoid.
Are two triangles with corresponding congruent angles congruent?
No, they are similar. They may be congruent, but they need not be.
What is the difference between a similar figure and a congruent figure?
A similar figure has the same interior angles as a congruent figure but its sides are in proportion to a congruent figure.
When a transformation of a slide a flip or a turn is performed is the resulting image congruent or similar to the original?
Congruent in all three cases.
Are similar triangles always congruent?
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.

Can congruent figures be similar and can similar figures be congruent?
Congruent figures are always similar. However, similar figures are only sometimes congruent.
Are congruent tiangles similar?
All congruent shapes are similar, but not all similar shapes are congruent.
Are congruent figure similar?
Yes, congruent figures have to be similar
Is a trapziod congruent similar or neither?
A trapezoid can be congruent or similar to another trapezoid.
Are all similar figures congruent?
Yes, but they are more than similar - they are congruent.
Is congruent figures are always similar?
Are congruent figures always similar? Yes.
What is does congruent means?
Congruent is the same or similar
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 pentagons either always sometimes and never similar?
If they are congruent they must be similar.
