So in similar figures, the angles are congruent but the sides are just proportional. That means that they all have the same ratio. If you want to figure out if the shape is congruent, if the figure is congruent, then the sides have to be equal.

The ability to recognize congruence is important in geometry and other fields that rely on this type of math. For example, designers often seek out the congruence between two objects to ensure symmetry in the final product.
