All congruent figures are similar figures, and have identical sizes.
The three requirements to be similar figures are: Corresponding angles must be congruent (equal in measure). Corresponding sides are in proportion; this means that the ratio of corresponding side lengths is the same for all sides. The figures have the same shape, but can be of different sizes.
