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.
True.
yes they are because they have congruent sides
Yes, congruent means same size and shape.
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.
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.
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.]
Yes, congruent figures have to be similar
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.
Enlargements (or dilations) will create similar shapes.

no
Yes, but they are more than similar - they are congruent.
True.
Similar means they are of the same shape but not necessary the same size. two figure are congruents when they are of the same shape and size. congruent figures can be similar but not similar figures aren't always congruent
