Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Congruence means two objects (whether two dimensional or three dimensional) are identical in size and shape. Everything about them -- their angles, lengths of sides, overall dimensions -- are identical. Similar means being the same shape. Two congruent figures must be the same shape, so they are similar.

Hope that helps!
