Anyway it comes from latin congruere to agree.
What does congruent mean in math angles.
They don t have to be on similar sized lines.
Congruent angles have the exact same measure for any set of congruent geometric figures corresponding sides angles faces etc.
For example if two angles are congruent the degrees of each angle are identical.
They don t have to point in the same direction.
Just the same angle.
You could say the measure of angle a is equal to the measure of angle b.
Congruent why such a funny word that basically means equal.
Congruent means that objects have the same shape.
So the angles agree.
But in geometry the correct way to say it is angles a and b are congruent.
The same shape and size but we are allowed to flip slide or turn.
People often confuse this word with equal but there is a small difference in the way that these two words should be used.
Two objects are congruent if they have the same dimensions and shape.
Aas is equivalent to an asa condition by the fact that if any two angles are given so is the third angle since their sum should be 180.
Congruent sides or segments have the exact same length.
If two pairs of angles of two triangles are equal in measurement and a pair of corresponding non included sides are equal in length then the triangles are congruent.
Congruent refers to two things being the same exact shape and measure.
Equal should be used to relate the lengths or measurements of two sides angles or parts of shapes.
For angles congruent is similar to saying equals.
These angles are congruent.
Very loosely you can think of it as meaning equal but it has a very precise meaning that you should understand completely especially for complex shapes such as polygons.
Angles are congruent when they are the same size in degrees or radians.
Relating to geometric figures that have the same size and shape.
Probably because they are only equal when laid on top of each other.
Exactly equal in size and shape.
To be congruent the only requirement is that the angle measure be the same the length of the two arms making up the angle is irrelevant.
Definition and meaning of the math word congruent.
It does not mean that they are equal exactly.
Two triangles are congruent for example if their sides are of the same length and their internal angles are of the same measure.
