Two figures are congruent if you can "pick one up" and then place it down on top of the other one in such a way that the two exactly overlay each other... in other words, if they are the exact same shape and size. So, any two circles will always have the same shape, but not necessarily the same size. Only circles that have the exact same size (as measured by matching radius, diameter, circumference, or surface area) are congruent.
