Solution
Two line segments are congruent, if they are of equal lengths.
Explanation:
In geometry, the term congruent means exactly equal in shape and size.
So, two line segments are said to be congruent when the measurement of their lengths is the same, regardless of their position or orientation.
Example:
If one line segment is 5 cm and another is also 5 cm, then they are congruent, even if they are drawn in different places or directions.
