No, symmetric and congruent do not mean the same thing. Symmetric refers to a shape or object that can be divided into two or more equal parts which are mirror images of each other. Congruent refers to two shapes or objects that have exactly the same size and shape.
If angles are congruent they are exactly the same.
Congruent can mean corresponding to (or agreeing with); or in mathematics, it can mean identical in shape and size. For example, two circles are congruent if they have the same size, while two line segments are congruent if they have the same length. So it basically means that it has the same shape and size.
There's no such thing as one congruent figure. Two or more figuresare congruent if they have exactly the same shape and size.
Two things are congruent if they are the same shape and size.
the two polygons are congruent if they are the same shape with the same measurements. If they can be flipped, rotated, and/or slid to look identical then they're congruent.
