What is the difference between congruent and similar figures?
Congruent figures have the same shape and size, while similar figures have the same shape but not necessarily the same size

Explain the formal definition of congruence in geometry and provide an example of two objects that are congruent.
Congruence in geometry means that two figures have the same shape and size. For example, two equilateral triangles are congruent if they have the same side length and the same angles.
Describe the conditions under which two line segments are considered congruent in elementary geometry.
Two line segments in elementary geometry are considered congruent if they have the same length.
What are the criteria for two angles to be considered congruent in geometry?
Two angles are considered congruent in geometry if they have the same measure.
Explain the concept of congruence in relation to circles in geometry. Under what conditions are two circles considered congruent?
Two circles in geometry are considered congruent if they have the same diameter.
Discuss the allowed operations that can make two distinct plane figures congruent on a piece of paper.
Two distinct plane figures on a piece of paper are considered congruent if they can be repositioned and reflected, but not resized, to coincide precisely with each other.
