Polygons and Congruence

What does it mean for two figures to be congruent?

• Two figures are congruent if they have the same shape but different sizes.

• Two figures are congruent if they have the same size but different shapes.

• Two figures are congruent if they have the same number of sides.

• Two figures are congruent if they have the same shape and size, and all corresponding sides and angles are equal.
