Two similar triangles are also congruent triangles. Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Perhaps you don't understand the question because it is not a question. It is a statement, an utterly false statement, but a statement nonetheless. Now, if you turn the statement around, you will have a true statement, that is:
Two congruent triangles are also similar triangles.
Your given statement is false because just because the sides of two triangles are in proportion (they are similar), they aren't necessarily equal (congruent). My statement is true because the sides cannot be equal unless they are also in proportion.
