Definition

Congruent angles are angles that have the same measure.

Description

Congruent angles are a key concept in geometry, often used in proving the similarity and congruence of geometric figures. They are essential in understanding the properties of polygons, where congruent angles indicate symmetry and balance. In real-world applications, congruent angles are used in design and engineering to ensure that components are identical and fit together seamlessly. For students, learning about congruent angles enhances their understanding of geometric relationships and proofs, contributing to their overall mathematical proficiency.
