Answer:

Congruent figures.

Explanation:

When the measure of angles and sides of two geometric figures is exactly the same, these figures are known as congruent figures.

Do not confuse the term congruent with similar. Similar figures are those which have the same measure of angles, but the side lengths are not same. However, the ratio of corresponding side lengths of two similar figures is the same. But in congruent figures measure of angles and measure of corresponding sides is always the same.
