Can congruent figures be similar figures?
All congruent figures are similar figures, and have identical sizes.
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.]
Is congruent figures are always similar?
Are congruent figures always similar? Yes.
Are all similar figures are congruent?
No because Similar figures are the same shape, angles, and types but not lengths. Congruent means EXACTLY the same in everything.
Are congruent figure similar?
Yes, congruent figures have to be similar

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 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
Why are congruent figures similar?
because all the sides are equal congruent means equal like a square
Are all similar geometric figures are also congruent?
No, something could be similar to something else, but be bigger. To be congruent they need to be the exactly the same.
