The term "congruent" comes from the Latin word "congruens," which literally translates to "agreeing" or "matching." In mathematics, the word "congruent" is used to describe two figures that have the same shape but may differ in size or orientation. Congruent figures have exactly the same vertices, edges, and interior points. In other words, if one figure can be moved, flipped, or rotated to exactly match another figure, then they are congruent. This concept is important in geometry because it allows us to understand that two figures with different orientations or scales in space represent the same three-dimensional shape. The word "congruent" helps us to easily communicate this mathematical relationship between figures.
