When two geometric figures have the same shape and size (or the same angle measure in case of angles) they are said to be congruent. The symbol for congruence is ≅. For example: A B ¯ ≅ P Q ¯ means “The line segment A B is congruent to the line segment P Q ”. Was this helpful? Ask your own question!

The symbol that is used to show the congruence of figures is "≅". Since circle A is congruent to circle B, we can express this fact as follows: Circle A ≅ Circle B. The congruence of any two figures can be seen if they can be placed exactly over each other.
