Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar figures have same shape while congruent figures have same shape and size.

If two figures are similar they look alike .If figures are similar the corresponding sides are in proportion.They are not necessarily congruent.All congruent figures are similar but all similar figures are not congruent.Hence the statement If STU is similar to XYZ, the sides of STU must be congruent to the corresponding sides of XYZ is False.

$\dfrac{3xyz^2}{6y^4}=\dfrac{3}{6}\cdot\dfrac{xyz^2}{y^4}=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot\dfrac{xz}{y^3}=\dfrac{xz}{2y^3}\\\\\\\dfrac{3xyz^2}{6y^4}\cdot\dfrac{2y}{xz^4}=\dfrac{xz^2}{2y^3}\cdot\dfrac{2y}{xz^4}=\dfrac{2}{2}\cdot\dfrac{xyz^2}{xy^3z^4}=1\cdot\dfrac{1}{y^2z^2}=\dfrac{1}{y^2z^2}$
