Yes, you can use the same shoulder rest for both a violin and a viola, but it's important to check the size and fit. Violas are generally larger and may require a wider or longer shoulder rest to ensure comfort and proper positioning. Some shoulder rests are adjustable, making them suitable for both instruments. Always try the rest on your viola to ensure it provides the right support for your playing style.
They both are from the violin and the string family. The violin and viola also share 3 of the same strings: G string, D string, and A string. They generally look the same, except the viola is usually bigger than the violin (depending on the size of the viola).

a viola is an instrument, an Olivia is a person.
I play the viola, and it is lower than the violin. It has four strings like a violin, but on the violin, the strings are G, D, A, and E. On the viola, the strings are C, G, D, and A. So the viola can do four notes lower than the violin. I prefer the tone on the viola to the violin. It is also a bigger instrument than a violin, even though it is held the same way. If you are wondering whether to switch from the violin to the viola, you definitely should, in my opinion. It was one of the best things I did musically! The viola is better :)
