What is a Congruent plane figure?
TWO SHAPES THAT ARE THE SAME SIZE AND SAME SHAPE ARE CONGRUENT. THEY CAN BE TURNED OR ROTATED ANY DIRECTION. POLYGONS AND ANY OTHER SHAPES CAN BE CONGRUENT. LOOK AROUND YOU, YOU'LL FIND MANY CONGRUENT FIGURES. PLANE FIGURES HAVE TO BE ON PAPER OR A FLAT AREA LIKE A PICTURE. THEY ARE TWO DIMENSIONAL. :)
