- For line segments, 'congruent' is similar to saying 'equals'. You could say the length of line AB equals the length of line PQ. But in geometry, the correct way to say it is line segments AB and PQ are congruent or, AB is congruent to PQ. In the figure above, note the single 'tic' marks on the lines. These are a graphical way to show that the two line segments are congruent. Rays and lines cannot be congruent because they do not have both end points defined, and so have no definite length.

Triangle Side-Side-Angle (or Angle-Side-Side) condition: If two sides and a corresponding non-included angle of a triangle have the same length and measure, respectively, as those in another triangle, then this is not sufficient to prove congruence; but if the angle given is opposite to the longer side of the two sides, then the triangles are congruent.

"What does the word ""congruent"" mean?" Tips: Congruent is often used in the formulation congruent with. Congruent is derived from the Latin congruere, to meet together, which reflects its meaning of agreement or consonance. Use congruent as a sophisticated way of saying in line with, parallel, compatible, and consistent. Usage Examples: Their stories were not congruent with one another, so we knew that the children were not telling the truth.

- For a list see Congruent Triangles. If there are two pairs of corresponding angles and a pair of corresponding opposite sides that are equal in measure, then the triangles are congruent. By opposite side we mean a side opposite either one of the angles.

What does congruent mean? Congruent can mean corresponding to (or agreeing with); or in mathematics, it can mean identical in shape and size.

- The reflexive property of congruence is used to prove congruence of geometric figures. This property is used when a figure is congruent to itself. Angles, line segments, and geometric figures can be congruent to themselves. Congruence is when figures have the same shape and size.

Willfulness and Willingness 1 Sit on your hands when the situation requires some action. 2  You give up. 3  You do the opposite of what works (you take ineffective action).  You try to fix every situation (think about that...it's a form of not accepting...notice the subtle difference between fix and do something different).

- Recall that congruence means that the measures of all three sides and all three angles are the same for the two triangles. For similarity, all that is required is that the angles be congruent. Another way of looking at congruence and similarity is by way of geometric transformations.

- Congruent Triangles. Introduction: We examine two triangles which are congruent because all corresponding angles and sides have the same measures. We discuss circumstances which guarantee that two triangles are congruent. Definition: Two triangles are said to be congruent if the corresponding angles and sides have the same measurements. This means that there are six corresponding parts with the same measurements. Under certain circumstances, it is only necessary to know that three corresponding parts have the same measures in order to guarantee that two triangles are congruent. We summarize these situations below without proof. SSS – Two triangles are congruent if all three sides have equal measures. 1  SAS – Two triangles are congruent if two sides and the included angle have the same measures. 2  ASA – Two triangles are congruent if two angles and the side between them have the same measures.

congruence congruence ‎(plural congruences) The quality of agreeing or corresponding; being suitable and appropriate. (mathematics, number theory) A relation between two numbers indicating they give the same remainder when divided by some given number. (mathematics, geometry) The quality of being isometric — roughly, the same measure and shape.

- Congruent polygons have an equal number of sides, and all the corresponding sides and angles are congruent. However, they can be in a different location, rotated or flipped over. So for example the two triangles shown on the right are congruent even though one is a mirror image of the other.

Similarity (geometry) Congruent triangles are triangles that have the same size and shape. In particular, corresponding angles have the same measure, and corresponding sides have the same length. converse. close window. Converse means the if and then parts of a sentence are switched. For example, If two numbers are both even, then their sum is even is a true statement. The converse would be If the sum of two numbers is even, then the numbers are even, which is not a true statement.

Talk:Triangle/Archive 1 Angles are congruent if they have the same angle measure. Two angles are congruent if they have the same measure in degrees. Its not necessary for the angles to have same direction or equal segment lengths. But if the congruent angles are laid on top of each other they coincide with each other.

Congruence relation The prototypical example of a congruence relation is congruence modulo n {\displaystyle n} on the set of integers. For a given positive integer n {\displaystyle n} , two integers a {\displaystyle a} and b {\displaystyle b} are called congruent modulo n {\displaystyle n} , written.

Congruence (geometry) Two polygons with n sides are congruent if and only if they each have numerically identical sequences (even if clockwise for one polygon and counterclockwise for the other) side-angle-side-angle-... for n sides and n angles. Congruence of polygons can be established graphically as follows:
