Congruence

Previously we have discussed about tangent line approximation and In today's session we are going to discuss about Congruence which is a part of school boards in india , In geometry if we are given two figures and the question is asked that are the two geometrical figures congruent, for this we need to recall the congruence definition. According to Congruence, two or more given geometrical figures are congruent if they have all the sides of the equal measurement and the angles formed by all the line segments are exactly equal. We say the two figures are congruent, if the two figures are placed one over another, they overlap each other.
Let us first take two circles, the two circles are said to be congruent, if they are drawn with the same radius.
 In case of the square, we say that the two squares are congruent, if they are formed with the help of the same line segment. As we know that all the angles of squares are equal to 90 degrees each, so we say that the two squares are congruent if they have the length of each side of the same measure.
Now we take the two rectangles, the two rectangles are said to be congruent, if the length of one rectangle is equal to the length of another rectangle and the breadth of one rectangle is equal to the breadth of another rectangle. All the rectangles have all the angles equal to 90 degrees. If we place one rectangle over another, the two rectangles are found to be exactly of the same measure and they overlap each other.
 In case of the triangles, we know that the triangles are formed by joining 3 line segments. Here we say that the two triangles are congruent, if the three sides of the lines are congruent   and the corresponding sides of the triangle are also equal, then the triangles are said to be congruent.
 In the next session we are going to discuss Basic constructions and You can visit our website for getting information about chemistry answers.
