OpenStudy (perl):

two figures are similar if they have the same shape. two figures are congruent if they have same size and shape. so if two figures are similar , they dont necessarily have the same size. but if two figures are congruent, they do have have the same size as well so they are also similar (that is because of the definition of congruence)
