The video tutorial covers congruence and rigid motions in geometry. It begins with an introduction to congruence, explaining its definition and symbols. The tutorial then provides a formal definition of congruence using rigid motions, followed by exercises to apply these concepts. It explores complex transformations involving multiple steps and demonstrates transformations in the coordinate plane. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of rigid motions in proving congruence, particularly in triangles.

What is the definition of congruence in geometry?

• Two figures are congruent if they have the same area.

• Two figures are congruent if they have the same size and shape.

• Two figures are congruent if they have the same color.

• Two figures are congruent if they are both polygons.
