The congruence symbol was invented by Gottfried Leibniz.
Three vertical parallel lines: |
opposite sides are congruent corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent(apex)
No it has 4 congruent angles and 2 sets of congruent sides
not congruent
think a congruent sign with a slash through it.
= with a ~ on top of it ~ = ≅
the symbol for congruent is ~ with _ in the same space. (US keyboard does not have a congruent key
The congruence symbol was invented by Gottfried Leibniz.
it is the equal sign = with the symbol ~ over it

= congruent sign
It's the equals sign with the ~ above it. ≅

"Congruent to" is usually referring to shapes in Euclidean geometry and proofs, hence it is written out. If one is talking about "congruences", as in elementary number theory, then the symbol looks like an equal sign, except there is three instead of two lines.
Drawing two tiny parallel lines over the segment will indicate that it is a congruent segment. The little arc symbol can also be drawn over the segment or the angles.
