What are the segments of equal lengths called?

If two segments are of equal length, then we call them congruent segments. Congruency is used when we do not know the specific length or measure, but instead we are dealing with unknown values. In other words, if I know that segment AB=8, I cannot say that AB is congruent to 8 since 8 is a specific value. I could say that segment AB is congruent to another segment, maybe segment BC but it would be improper to say that a segment is congruent to a specific value.
