Indicators of Congruent Line Segments

  1. Tic Lines: Line segments are congruent when they have the same number of tic lines.

  2. Number and Units of Measurement (Length): Line segments are congruent when they have equal length measurement.

Congruence Symbol

  • The “≅” (congruent symbol) is used in geometry to state that two shapes are identical to each other in shape and size.

    • Tilde/Wavy Line: indicates that the shape of the item is the same.

    • Equal Sign: indicates that the measurement/size of the item is the same.
