Congruent Line Segments

If two line segments are congruent, what can we say about their lengths?

• They have the same length.

• They intersect at a right angle.

• They are parallel.

• They have different lengths.

How can we compare the lengths of two congruent line segments?

• Count the number of points on each line segment

• Compare the colors of the line segments

• Measure both line segments using the same unit of measurement and compare the measurements.

• Use different units of measurement for each line segment

If line segment AB is congruent to line segment CD, what can we conclude about their lengths?

• They intersect at a right angle.

• They have the same length.

• They are parallel lines.

• They have different lengths.

True or False: Congruent line segments have the same length.

• True

• False

• Sometimes

• Never

What is the relationship between the lengths of congruent line segments?

• They are intersecting.

• They are equal in length.

• They are perpendicular.

• They are parallel.

If line segment PQ is congruent to line segment RS, what can we say about their measurements?

• Their measurements are different.

• Their measurements are equal.

• They are parallel lines.

• They are perpendicular lines.

Can two line segments be congruent if their lengths are different? Why or why not?

• Maybe

• Yes

• Sometimes

• No

What property of congruent line segments allows us to compare their lengths?

• Different length

• Intersecting

• Parallel

• Same length

How do we determine if two line segments are congruent in terms of length?

• Measure the length of each line segment using the same unit of measurement. If the measurements are equal, then the line segments are congruent in terms of length.

• Check if the line segments are parallel

• Compare the slopes of the line segments

• Count the number of vertices on each line segment

What does it mean for two line segments to be congruent?

• Two line segments are congruent if they intersect at a right angle.

• Two line segments are congruent if they have the same length.

• Two line segments are congruent if they have different lengths.

• Two line segments are congruent if they are parallel.
