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.
Congruent figures are always similar. However, similar figures are only sometimes congruent.
All congruent figures are similar figures, and have identical sizes.
Are congruent figures always similar? Yes.
Yes, congruent figures have to be similar
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.]
no
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.

Yes, but they are more than similar - they are congruent.
Enlargements (or dilations) will create similar shapes.
similar figures have the same shape but not the same lengths, while congruent shapes are the same as eachother.
True.
