Are the same size and the same shape.Are the same size and the same shape.Fit exactly on top of each otherFit exactly on top of each other
Have Have corresponding parts: corresponding parts:Matching sides and Matching sides and ss
You can make 3 kinds of moves so that one congruent figure can fit exactly on top of top of another
These are called translations and are covered in chapter 9
