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 does parallel lines intercepted arc conjecture mean?
Parallel lines intercept congruent arcs on a circle. More explanation: Parallel lines never interSECT but they can interCEPT Congruent arcs means that the two arcs would have the same measure of the arcs.
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal then the alternate interior angles are always?
Congruent
What does the symbol of two parallel wavy lines mean?
The two wavy lines symbolizes that the shapes are congruent. This means that they are the same size as each other.
Is this statement true or falseIf two lines are intersected by a transversal so that consecutive interior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.?
false
How can you determine if two lines are parallel?
There are three ways to find if two lines are parallel. The first one is to see if there is any indication. I there isn't, you should never trust your eyes. Instead, you should find the slope of each line. If they are then the two lines are parallel. Another way to find if two lines are parallel is to see if there are any corresponding angles, Alternate Interior Angles, and Alternate Exterior Angles. If there are and they are congruent, then the two lines are parallel.
