Similar triangles are triangles that have the same interior angles and the corresponding sides are proportional, that is, for triangles STU and XYZ we have the proportion:

[tex]\frac{ST}{XY}=\frac{TU}{YZ}=\frac{SU}{XZ}[/tex]

The corresponding sides are congruent only if the proportion rate is 1, but that is not always true and it's not necessary.

Therefore the correct option is B: False

If the corresponding sides are congruent, the triangles are congruent.
