We can say that two polygons are similar if they have the same shape as the other but they are jut different in size. Even when the other polygon is flipped over or rotated, the shape still remains similar. Two polygons are considered similar only if their corresponding sides are proportional and their angles must be congruent.

If the question is phrased like that however, your answer would be false because the sides are not equal, they are proportional. The angles are not proportional, they should be congruent or equal.
