If segment KL is congruent to segment MN, then segment MN is congruent to segment KL.?

Yes, this is true by the symmetric property of congruence. The symmetric property states: if a=b, then b=a, meaning the order in which two values are equal does not matter, as long as they are equal. Because segment KL is congruent to segment MN, they have the same length. Therefore, the two segments are equal and it doesn’t matter the order in which they are equal.
