Can line segments be congruent?
Congruency means that two things are the same length. Therefore two line segments if the same length are congruent.
What does it mean for angles and segments to be congruent?
Two angles are congruent if they both measure exactly the same number of degrees. Two line segments are congruent if they both have exactly the same length.
What are two segments that have the same measurement?
If 2 segments have the same length they are known as 'congruent segments' IE: segment AB=segment AC (or AB=AC) then AB @ AC (or AB is congruent to AC)
If two lines are parallel are they congruent?
First, lines and rays cannot be congruent because they do not have both end points defined. Not having an end point define means we cannot talk about their length so they can't be congruent. Line segments, however, can be congruent. Congruent line segments NEED NOT be parallel.Furthermore, if two line segments are parallel, that does not mean they are congruent since parallel line segments may not have the same length.Congruent line segments would be ones that are the same length.
What is the definition of congruent line segment in geometry?
In geometry, congruent line segments are segments that have the same length. When two line segments are congruent, it means they are equal in length and can be superimposed on each other perfectly. This property is fundamental in geometric constructions and proofs, as it allows for precise measurements and comparisons between different segments.
