Congruent Angles

Congruent Angles have the same angle in degrees. That's all.


Congruent Angles
These angles are congruent.

They don't have to point in the same direction.

They don't have to be on similar sized lines.

Congruent - why such a funny word that basically means "equal"? Probably because they would only be "equal" if laid on top of each other. Anyway it comes from Latin congruere, "to agree". So the angles "agree"
