What does congruent mean if shapes are not the same size?
You can have two shapes - a small one and a big one - whose angles are congruent but the sides are not. In that case the shapes are not congruent but similar.
Can two shapes that are similar be congruent?
no
Can two shapes be congruent and not similar?
