Hello friends what does congruent mean

Congruent basically means "same"

So for instance, two segments are congruent we say they are the same length

Two angles are congruent they are the same measure (eg: both 20 degrees)

Saying two triangles are congruent means they are the same figure (one may be a rotation of the other, or a reflection, or translation)

And so on...
