Because congruent figures just rotate or reflect making the shape the same size same everything, but when you dilate you shrink it or enlrge it making a similar figure but not a congruent figure. but translations, reflections, rotations, and dilations common thing is that when you move it or shrink it your shape still has the same angles.

Can congruent figures be similar and can similar figures be congruent?
Congruent figures are always similar. However, similar figures are only sometimes congruent.
Congruent and similar figures have congruent angles True or false?
True.
Are figures with congruent angles always similar?
yes they are because they have congruent sides
Are two congruent figures similar?
Yes, congruent means same size and shape.
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.
Can congruent figures be similar and can similar figures be congruent?
Congruent figures are always similar. However, similar figures are only sometimes congruent.
Which transformation does not always result in an image that is congruent to the original figure?
A dilation (or scaling) is a transformation that does not always result in an image that is congruent to the original figure. While translations, rotations, and reflections always produce congruent figures, dilations change the size of the figure, which means the image may be similar to, but not congruent with, the original figure.
Can congruent figures be similar figures?
All congruent figures are similar figures, and have identical sizes.
Is congruent figures are always similar?
Are congruent figures always similar? Yes.
How are similar and congruent figures the same?
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.]
Are congruent figure similar?
Yes, congruent figures have to be similar
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.
What composition of transformations will create a pair of similar not congruent triangles?
Enlargements (or dilations) will create similar shapes.
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 similar figures also congruent figures?
no
Are all similar figures congruent?
Yes, but they are more than similar - they are congruent.
Congruent and similar figures have congruent angles True or false?
True.
