An arc is used in constructing congruent segments because it provides a precise method for marking off equal lengths. By using a compass to draw arcs from the endpoints of a segment, you can ensure that the distances remain consistent and accurate. This technique helps avoid errors that might occur with just using a ruler, ensuring that the segments are truly congruent. Additionally, the intersection points of the arcs serve as the endpoints for the new segments, facilitating a clear and effective construction process.
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.
No they are two entirely different things.
Congruent; I think...
No, they need not be.
No, it can never be. One is an angle and the other is a curved line!

constructing a congruent angle
Congruent arcs are circle segments that have the same angle measure and are in the same or congruent circles.
The first step in constructing an angle congruent to a given angle is to place the compass point on the vertex of the given angle. Then, draw an arc that intersects both rays of the angle. This arc will help transfer the angle's measure to the new location where you will construct the congruent angle.
