In similar triangles, the corresponding angles are indeed congruent, meaning that each angle in one triangle matches in measure with an angle in the other triangle. This property arises from the fact that similar triangles maintain the same shape, even if their sizes differ. Consequently, the ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides are equal, reinforcing the relationship between the angles. This congruence of angles is a fundamental characteristic that helps identify and prove the similarity of triangles.
False. The statement should be: If the corresponding side lengths of two triangles are congruent, and the triangles are similar, then the corresponding angles are also congruent.

Proportional.
They are congruent triangles.
When all of their corresponding angles are congruent (in any triangle, in fact) then the triangles are similar. Similarity postulate AAA. (angle-angle-angle)

Yes.
No, they are similar. They may be congruent, but they need not be.
you can assume that the angles are congruent, but not the sides.

Triangles are congruent if the lengths of their corresponding sides as well as the measures of their corresponding angles are the same.
angles are congruent. That is sufficient to force the corresponding sides to be proportional - which is the other definition of similarity.
All the corresponding sides in congruent triangles are equal All the corresponding angles in congruent triangles are equal
