Two segments that have the same length must be congruent is Always true,
<h2>Further Explanation;</h2>
In geometry terms may be classified as defined and undefined terms.
<h3>Defined terms </h3>
- Defined terms are those terms that are simply put and have some definition.
- These terms include; line segment, ray, angles, etc.
<h3>Undefined terms </h3>
- These are terms that can not be defined easily.
- In geometry there are three undefined terms. These are; a point, a line and a plane.
<h3>A point</h3>
- A point indicates the position in shape and has no dimension.
- Additionally, a point has no length, no width and no height.
- It is usually named using capital letters, and on a Cartesian plane it is named as a coordinate using ordered pair, (x,y)
<h3>A line </h3>
- A line is another undefined term.
- Its length extends in one dimension and has no thickness.
- it extends to infinity in both directions.
- It is drawn with arrow ends on both ends.
<h3>Line segment</h3>
- Line segment is an example of a defined term.
- It is defined as a piece of a line that has two endpoints.
- Line segments that have the same length are congruent and they need not to be parallel.
Congruent segments
- These are line segments that have equal lengths.
- Congruent line segments are indicated by drawing the same amount of tic lines in the middle of the segments and perpendicular to the segments.
